Liam Delap Ready for Premier League Debut with Chelsea

Liam Delap, the highly-skilled forward who was Ipswich Town's top contributor last season, is set to make his mark in the Premier League with his new club, Chelsea.

Delap, who scored 12 goals and provided 2 assists in the 2024-2025 season at Ipswich Town [1][3][4], demonstrated a productive and impressive season as a forward. His stellar performance at Ipswich paved the way for his move to Chelsea.

The young striker made his Chelsea debut against Los Angeles FC and assisted Enzo Fernandez on his debut. He then scored his first goal for Chelsea in a 3-0 win over ES Tunis in the Club World Cup.

Delap is optimistic about a positive start against Crystal Palace this Sunday, as Chelsea begin their Premier League campaign at home. The forward is eager to bring everything he has learned and give his best for Chelsea this season.

Delap is excited about the prospect of playing in big games and competing for big trophies. He won a winner's medal with Chelsea after their convincing final triumph against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup.

Crystal Palace, who lifted the Community Shield after beating Liverpool on penalties, will provide a tough challenge for Delap and Chelsea. However, Delap is ready for the test, as he has stated that he enjoyed his time at Chelsea so far and is excited about what is to come.

Joao Pedro, another forward who has recently joined Chelsea, will provide internal competition for Delap. The two forwards will be vying for a spot in the starting lineup, as Chelsea aim to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

The Opta supercomputer assigns Chelsea an 8.3% chance of winning the Premier League this season. However, with an incredible squad and a determined and hungry mindset to win every trophy they can, Chelsea are ready to take on the competition.

This week, the focus is on preparing and getting ready for the game against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Delap and his teammates are working hard to ensure they are in top form for the opening fixture of the Premier League season.
