Chelsea welcome our closest neighbours Fulham to Stamford Bridge this Saturday for the 12.30pm UK time Premier League match.
We’ve got began this season going through three different London golf equipment and never considered one of them has been Spurs or Arsenal. What an odd begin to the season by way of the schedule.
We drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace on the opening recreation, thrashed West Ham 5-1 as a result of they didn’t get any luck (if you realize you then learn all my articles), and now we face Fulham this weekend.
Fulham beat Bristol Metropolis 2-0 within the Carabao Cup this week in order that they prevented the Manchester United illness. And Metropolis are a Championship facet as effectively, Grimsby are League Two!
And this outcome signifies that Fulham have performed three video games in all competitions this season and are but to lose. Nevertheless, the Bristol Metropolis win was their first win to date this season.
They’ve to date had two attracts, a 1-1 with Brighton, after which the identical outcome towards Manchester United.
They really had a superb preseason, profitable all three video games in July towards Nottingham Forest, Al-Ittihad, and Frankfurt. So actually, you’ll be able to say they’re unbeaten of their final six video games!
Fulham are a good crew with a superb supervisor in Marco Silva who has been there some time and has his crew enjoying with organisation, are powerful to beat, and really effectively drilled.
I don’t see it being one other West Ham sadly. However it’s a recreation that Chelsea and Enzo Maresca ought to fancy all three factors in and at house, ought to completely be taking all three factors in.
Towards United this season, Fulham really had the higher of the stats with extra possession (53%), extra photographs each on and off track, and extra passes.
In addition they had extra possession than Brighton once they performed them, albeit solely simply with 51%. So I’d count on them to come back to Stamford Bridge and attempt to play some soccer, this may increasingly effectively go well with Chelsea. Or no less than this could go well with Chelsea.
Fulham have gamers who’ve primarily been enjoying collectively for a sustained interval they usually all know their roles and the way their crew mates play. They’ve stable defenders and a good keeper as effectively.
This shall be a troublesome take a look at for Chelsea and I worry for our again line and goalkeeper as all the time, however it is a recreation I consider we should always win. I’m going 2-1 house win.
