Vieira will need to ensure his side remains compact while finding ways to exploit Chelsea's vulnerabilities.

Chelsea is brimming with confidence after securing several constructive results. The attacking partnership featuring Raheem Sterling and new signing Christopher Nkunku has been clicked, making Chelsea a formidable foe. Their midfield, boasting players with tactical awareness and creativity like Enzo Fernandez, will aim to dominate ball possession and create scoring opportunities. Defensively, Chelsea should focus on staying organized, especially on counter-attacks from Palace.
