Chelsea have different challenge than West Ham this weekend

Chelsea welcome our closest neighbours Fulham to Stamford Bridge this Saturday for the 12.30pm UK time Premier League match.

Now we have began this season going through three different London golf equipment and never certainly one of them has been Spurs or Arsenal. What a wierd begin to the season by way of the schedule.

We drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace on the opening sport, thrashed West Ham 5-1 as a result of they didn’t get any luck (if you understand then you definately 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 averted the Manchester United illness. And Metropolis are a Championship facet as properly, Grimsby are League Two!

And this end result implies 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 end result in opposition to Manchester United.

They really had a great preseason, profitable all three video games in July in opposition to Nottingham Forest, Al-Ittihad, and Frankfurt. So actually, you may say they’re unbeaten of their final six video games!

Fulham are an honest workforce with a great supervisor in Marco Silva who has been there some time and has his workforce enjoying with organisation, are robust to beat, and really properly drilled.

I don’t see it being one other West Ham sadly. However it’s a sport that Chelsea and Enzo Maresca ought to fancy all three factors in and at house, ought to completely be taking all three factors in.

In opposition to United this season, Fulham really had the higher of the stats with extra possession (53%), extra photographs each on and astray, and extra passes.

In addition they had extra possession than Brighton after they performed them, albeit solely simply with 51%. So I’d anticipate them to return to Stamford Bridge and attempt to play some soccer, this may increasingly properly swimsuit Chelsea. Or at the least this could swimsuit Chelsea.

Fulham have gamers who’ve primarily been enjoying collectively for a sustained interval they usually all know their roles and the way their workforce mates play. They’ve strong defenders and an honest keeper as properly.

This will likely be a troublesome take a look at for Chelsea and I concern for our again line and goalkeeper as all the time, however this can be a sport I imagine we must always win. I’m going 2-1 house win.
