Baller Episode 2 | Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Tactical Preview | FA Cup Semi-Final

Welcome to Baller, a brand new show brought to you by WhoScored in association with Ladbrokes 5-a-side. Each episode we'll preview one of the biggest matches of the week and having kicked off with Manchester City vs Liverpool in Episode 1, we're focusing on the second FA Cup semi-final as Chelsea face Crystal Palace in a London derby at Wembley.

Host Ste Howson is joined by Raj Chohan, founder of football tactics channel PremLeaguePanel, and WhoScored's very own Josh Wright to assess this shootout for a place in the final.

We discuss the key talking points ahead of Sunday's showdown, including Crystal Palace's tactical evolution under Patrick Vieira and the impact of the absence of Blues loanee Conor Gallagher this weekend. There's praise for Mason Mount's underrated output, whether Chelsea were too quick to let Marc Guehi cross the capital and Thomas Tuchel finally putting his faith in a Kai Havertz and Timo Werner strike pairing.

Throughout the show you'll get insights into how to find value in Ladbrokes' 5-a-side market for the match, as we reveal our chosen lineup at a tasty 20/1. Find out how we've built such a tempting price and you can even pit your wits against us for the chance to win over £1000 in cash prizes in our official 5-a-side league.
