🤜🤛 Head to head

An aggregate of 15 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 13 from The Blues and 2 netted by The Cottagers. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.5.

📋 Team News: Chelsea

Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Charly Musonda Jr. (Knee Surgery) misses out.

📋 Team News: Fulham

Fulham boss Scott Parker has not got a full squad to pick from. Kevin McDonald (Kidney problems), Marek Rodak (Finger Injury), Tom Cairney (Knee Injury), Alfie Mawson (Ruptured cruciate ligament) and Terence Kongolo (Knee Surgery) miss out here. Kevin McDonald cannot play in this game through suspension.

💡 Prediction

Chelsea will probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Fulham might well find it a difficult task to score themselves but do we see them pulling one back during this clash.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 3-1 victory for Chelsea after 90 minutes.
