Chelsea-Crystal Palace Preview (The Associated Press)

It's going to be a very Merry Christmas at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea have guaranteed themselves the top spot in the Premier League table come the holiday on the strength of their current 10-match winning streak. Chelsea (13-1-2) moved six points clear of the field after grinding past Sunderland 1-0 on Wednesday. Cesc Fabregas made the most of a rare start by producing the lone goal in the first half, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois preserved the three points in second-half stoppage time by denying Patrick Van Aanholt.
