Fulham vs Chelsea: prediction for the English Premier League match

The Cottagers had a very good start to the season. Fulham won three straight games, and after beating Crystal Palace, Southampton, and Leicester City, the team will attempt the fourth victory. If they beat Chelsea, Fulham will have won four games in a row for the first time since 1966.  

Currently, they are in 7th place in the standings, five points behind the European club competition zone. Fulham are especially successful at home, where they won seven out of nine games this season. In 18 matches, they collected 28 points and scored 30 goals. In the first FA Cup match, Fulham beat Hull City (2:0).

Kebano is sidelined through injury. 

Chelseaare a very uncomfortable opponent for Fulham. The Blues have not lost to their neighbours since 2006, plus after two losses to Manchester City in the Premier League and the FA Cup, they will hope to bounce back and get a confident win.

Graham Potter has a long list of injured players, which is one of the main reason Chelsea lost five of the last seven games without scoring a goal. Chelsea are in 10th place in the Premier League table with 25 points from seven victories and four draws. 

Today the visitors will be withour Lotfus-Cheek, Broja, Fofana, Chilwell, Pulisic, Mendy, Kante, and James.
