ℹ️ Team News: Fulham

Fulham boss Scott Parker does not have any fitness worries at all coming into this game thanks to a fully healthy squad ready to go.

From a largely healthy group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Chelsea gaffer Frank Lampard to be concerned about. Charly Musonda Jr. (Knee Surgery) misses out for this game.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Chelsea will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the other end, Fulham won’t find it easy to score themselves, although we do think that it’s probable they’ll be converting at least once as well.

We’re therefore anticipating a pretty comfortable 1-3 win for Chelsea at the end of this one.
