Fulham vs Chelsea 02.10.2023 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Craven Cottage in London will play host to a fascinating city derby between Fulham and London on 2 October, Monday. While Fulham have dropped off the radar in recent times, Chelsea are not doing too well either. This means that we can see a rather balanced game between these two teams, although Chelsea will have the upper hand for sure.

Key Highlights 

At the time of writing, Chelsea are ranked in the fourteenth position of the league table with a mere 5 points to their name. Their goal difference is in the negative: -1. Fulham, on the other hand, are located three spots above their opponents in the same table, in the eleventh position, with eight points inside their kitty. It is quite strange to see Fulham above Chelsea.

Injury Report

Both Fulham and Chelsea have a long list of injured players in their ranks. This includes the likes of Sasa Lukic, Kenny Tate and Calvin Bassey among others. For Chelsea, Wesley Fofana, Reece James and a lot of others are unavailable for selection.

Prediction

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is under fire for his inability to turn his side's fortunes around, will hope that the start of a new era begins when they take on Fulham. The home team, for their part, drew their last Premier League game against Crystal Palace by a goalless scoreline. We expect Chelsea to win this game comfortably.
