While Chelsea‘s loanees normally disappear into obscurity, Frank Lampard has shown that they now have a path into the first team. 

The likes of Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham established themselves as first-team regulars at Stamford Bridge in 2019-20 after successful loan spells in the previous season.

We’ve looked at the 31 players who had loan spells away from Stamford Bridge in 2019-20 to see how they fared.

When is Crystal Palace v Chelsea?

Barring any health emergencies, the game is scheduled to take place on Tuesday July 7.

What time does Crystal Palace v Chelsea kick-off?

The game is scheduled for an 6pm kick-off and is one of three Premier League match that day.

What is at stake?

In truth, Crystal Palace’s season seems over. They are the quintessential ‘on the beach’ team for 2020, having already secured their safety yet unable to achieve anything further up the table.

Chelsea are still very much in need of points, though. Frank Lampard’s men are sitting in fourth position right now but have Manchester United making an incredibly strong challenge for the Champions League places having closed to just a point behind them.

Where can I watch Crystal Palace v Chelsea?

It’s being broadcasted by Sky Sports.

Is Crystal Palace v Chelsea free-to-air?

It’s not, no, meaning you are either going to need a Sky Sports subscription to watch it or buy a Now TV sports pass.

What is the team news?

N’Golo Kante suffered a hamstring injury in the win over Watford last time out and is likely to miss at least a couple of matches, starting with this one. His position is likely to be taken by Jorginho.

Mateo Kovacic is also nursing a knock and won’t be available for the game, and the same can be said for defender Fikayo Tomori.

Crystal Palace report no fresh injury concerns, with James McCarthy and Cheikhou Kouyate pushing for recalls. Martin Kelly, Jeffrey Schlupp, and James Tomkins all remain sidelined.

What happened in the reverse match?

Second half goals from youngsters Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic earned Chelsea a relatively routine 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge back in November.

What are the odds?

Chelsea are the 9/20 favourites to win, with the draw priced at 10/3. Crystal Palace can be backed at 13/2.

When is Chelsea v Watford?

Barring any health emergencies, the game is scheduled to take place on Saturday July 4.

What time does Chelsea v Watford kick-off?

The game is scheduled for an 8pm kick-off and is one of five Premier League matches that day.

What is at stake?

Both teams will be viewing it as a vital game, without question. Chelsea are just about holding onto a top four spot at the moment, but their Champions League hopes were wounded by the 3-2 defeat to West Ham.

Watford have very different yet just as pressing concerns, as they find themselves involved in a true relegation dogfight at the bottom with games starting to run out.

Where can I watch Chelsea v Watford?

The match will be broadcast by Sky Sports.

Is Chelsea v Watford free-to-air?

It’s not, no, meaning you are either going to need a Sky Sports subscription to watch it or buy a Now TV sports pass.

What is the team news?

Chelsea got 90 minutes out of both Christian Pulisic and Andreas Christensen against West Ham despite them being injury doubts for the game, so may opt to give them some rest in this one.

Danny Welbeck is pushing for another recall after proving his fitness coming off the bench since the restart, and his extra quality may be tough for Nigel Pearson to ignore. The Hornets report no fresh injury concerns, so expect Ismaila Sarr, Troy Deeney, and Craig Cathcart to be involved again.

What happened in the reverse match?

It was an absorbing contest back in November when these two sides met, with Tammy Abraham and Pulisic scoring to secure a 2-1 success for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea.

What are the odds?

Chelsea are the clear 5/2 favourites to win this one and compound Watford’s relegation worries. Watford can be backed at 7/2, with the draw available at 13/2.

When is West Ham v Chelsea?

Barring any health emergencies, the game is scheduled to take place on Wednesday July 1.

What time does West Ham v Chelsea kick-off?

The game is scheduled for an 8.15pm kick-off, directly after the evening’s three 6pm kick-offs have finished.

What is at stake?

West Ham v Chelsea is always a big game as it’s a fiercely competed derby, but this one could carry real consequences too.

Chelsea are clinging on to a top-four position right now but have Wolves and Manchester United putting immense pressure on them.

For West Ham, the stakes are arguably even higher, with them really struggling with points towards the bottom and starting to see matches begin to run out.

Where can I watch West Ham v Chelsea?

The match will be broadcast by Sky Sports.

Is West Ham v Chelsea free-to-air?

It’s not, no. This one is subscription only, so you’ll need a Sky Sports subscription or a Now TV pass to watch it.

What is the team news?

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard went with youth for his side’s FA Cup tie last weekend, so should be able to pick from a fresh group of senior players despite having to introduce them from the bench in the second half.

Christian Pulisic was in particularly sparkling form for Chelsea at Leicester, but went off feeling tightness in his calf, so he may be a doubt for this one. Lampard is not short of options, though, with Pedro, Callum Hudson-Odio, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all vying for the spot.

Robert Snodgrass and Sebastien Haller will miss out for the Hammers, but Arthur Masuaku has a chance of being involved after an ankle injury.

What happened in the reverse match?

An Aaron Cresswell goal just after half-time gave West Ham a much needed and hugely satisfying 1-0 win when the two teams met at Stamford Bridge in November.

What are the odds?

Chelsea are in blistering form, so they are understandable 3/5 favourites to win this one. West Ham can be backed at 4/1, while the draw is priced at 16/5.
