Fulham
LWLLWL
Fulham will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Bournemouth.
In that match, Fulham managed 59% possession and 12 shots at goal with 7 on target. Bournemouth had 12 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Antoine Semenyo (1') was the scorer for Bournemouth.
It’s not been often in recent times where Fulham have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Fulham have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals on the way.
Heading into this fixture, Fulham are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.
Chelsea

Last time out, Chelsea drew 2-2 in the Premier League tie with Ipswich Town.
In that match, Chelsea had 74% possession and 34 shots at goal with 9 on target. The only player to score for Chelsea was Jadon Sancho (79'). At the other end, Ipswich Town got 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Julio César Enciso (19'), Ben Johnson (31') and Axel Tuanzebe (46' Own goal) scored for Ipswich Town.
A series of outstanding displays from the Chelsea defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their previous 6 outings in total. In that period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 7. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend shall be maintained in this upcoming match.
Heading into this fixture, Chelsea are without an away win for the past 8 league games. It's not a good run at all.

💭
Prediction
Our feeling is that Chelsea and Fulham could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.
Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought score draw at the end of this one.
