Crystal Palace star makes huge claim ahead of Chelsea clash despite Man United defeat

Chelsea beat a struggling Sunderland side 1-0 last night to make it 10 Premier League victories on the bounce, a run which has seen the Blues take a six-point lead at the top of the table.

While Crystal Palace lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United to end their mini revival, which had seen them take four points from two games having lost the previous six.

But Palace captain Dann believes his side can take advantage of the hype surrounding Chelsea's current form to spring a surprise on the league leaders.

When asked if all the talk surrounding Saturday's opponents could benefit Palace, Dann replied: "Possibly.

"They will be coming here on the back of 10 wins and hopefully we can be the team that turns them over and stops that run. That is exactly what we will try and do.

"We have a great set of fans here who make for an amazing atmosphere so come Saturday hopefully they can help us get the right result.

"Chelsea have been playing really well, they are a tough, well-organised team and seem to be going from strength to strength.

"But every game in this league is difficult and hopefully we can put in more of a performance similar to United, obviously try and look back and see what we could have done better and take the positives into the weekend."
