Fulham Team News

Fulham is in a dreamland right now. Marco Silva’s men are 7th in the Premier League with 28 points and eight wins after 18 rounds.

Fulham is punching above weights this season and no one could expect that they will be this high on the table after almost half of the season. Fulham is in the run of three consecutive wins in the Premier League and they are now 13 points above the relegation zone.

With a win in the FA Cup, they have four consecutive wins and they conceded only one goal in this run. Since the start of October, Fulham has only two defeats in the last nine games and both defeats were against Man City and Man United in both games, they conceded goals in stoppage time.

In the last three months, only four teams in the Premier League are in better form than Fulham. With Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is playing the season of his life, Fulham scored a lot of goals. With 30 goals scored their attack is very good and they failed to score in only two games this season. But Mitrovic absence can be a huge problem in this game. The Serbian striker is suspended. Mitrovic missed three games in Premier League this season and Fulham lost all three.

Fulham is terrible against the teams at the top this season. They pick up only a point in six games, but they are very good against the teams below them on the table.

Chelsea Team News

Graham Potter is under huge pressure right now. After two consecutive defeats against Manchester City and terrible form in the last couple of weeks, his job isn’t safe anymore.

Chelsea is in disappointing 10th place in the table with 25 points and seven wins after 17 games. They are already 10 points behind the top 4. In the last eight games in the league, they have had one win and since the middle of October only five teams are in worst form than them.

Chelsea has five defeats in the last seven games in all competitions. The injuries made life more difficult for Potter. Mendy, Kante, James, Fofana, and now Pulisic and probably Sterling are out. Chelsea has a few attacking options and a lot shorter rotation now.

The attack is a major problem. Chelsea is struggling a lot in this segment. They scored only 20 goals this season which is criminal. Only seven teams scored fewer and away from home they scored only eight times.

In the next couple of weeks, Chelsea has games that they must win. They will play against Fulham twice, Crystal Palace, and West Ham. With the derby against Liverpool. The next 30 days will be crucial for Graham Potter.

Injuries and suspensions

Fulham: Aleksandar Mitrovic is suspended.

Chelsea: Edouard Mendy, N’Golo Kante, Reece James, Armando Broja, Wesley Fofana, and Christian Pulisic are injured. Raheem Sterling are questionable.

Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction

In this game both teams are will be without main strikers. Aleksandar Mitrovic will miss the game and Fulham know to struggle when he isn’t on the pitch. On the other side, Chelsea is set to be without Pulisic and Sterling. Havertz, Ziyech, and Aubameyang scored one goal in the last two months, combine.

Chelsea is under bigger pressure because another defeat will be catastrophic for the club and Fulham this season showed us that they are a very good side that can cause problems for everyone.

We expect a very good London derby and one close game.
