Mourinho Cautions Chelsea Fans against early Celebration, says Crystal Palace might prove difficult

Chelsea Technical handler Jose Mourinho has warned Chelsea fans around the world not to expect early victory in this afternoon match between his club and the visiting team, Crystal Palace. Chelsea is going into a crucial match with visiting team and wining the clash at the Stamford Bridge this afternoon will crown Chelsea as the Premier Leagues Champions.

As expected, Chelsea fans and sport analysts are predicting easy win over Crystal Palace but Mourinho has counseled his fans to be patience and not to expect a quick fixing of the visiting team as they too will fight to improve their lot on the league table. 

Already, Diego Costa is ruled out of today’s encounter no thanks to hamstring injury but hopes of better outing  increased with the returns of Chelsea forward Loic Remy as well as Chelsea goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois after a while nursing minor hip injury. 

Three points is Chelsea need to win its fourth Premier League title, and first since Mourinho returned to the club in 2010 . The Blues are set for a win this afternoon as the probability of losing this match against Crystal Palace is slim. Since the begin of the season Chelsea had only lost three out of the fifty (5)0 matches played and definitely this will not make four. 

The visitors from Selhurt Park are not completely underdogs. Palace players will be emboldened by league season record of having lost only one out of its last eight away matches. The morale of Palace players towards impressive performance at Stamford Bridge would be further boosted by current away from Selhurst Park performances that has seen them winning six (6) matches out of seven since Alan Pardew became the club’s manager. If they win this afternoon encounter, it will be their first win against Chelsea in more 30years. 

Pardew has own worries to battle too but the probability of better play at Stamford Bridge is heightened by the fitness of defender Joel Ward for this match who was down with a shin injury. But the duo of Marouane Chamakh and Fraizer Campbell would remain on the bench and would be missing in action. 

Whatever concern Mourinho has, whatever he says about the Stamford Bridge encounter with Crystal Palace, his club and its fan are poised already towards celebrating another Premier League title after a long trophy drought spell and Crystal Palace will not stop them from lifting the trophy this afternoon.
