Roy Hodgson (Crystal Palace)“They are doing well in the league and they will be a tough ask for us with the quality of their players and the quality of their organisation, and the size and strength of the club. But we are in the Premier League to play the Chelseas of the world.“We have got to believe in ourselves and I suppose the fact we won last year does leave you with that memory that, although on paper we will be anything but favourites to win the game, we certainly haven’t lost it until a referee blows a final whistle.Maurizio Sarri (Chelsea) “Its a very difficult match because in the last three matches at home they were able to not concede a goal to the opponent, then they are very dangerous on the counter attack.
