Venue: Stamford Bridge
It has been a season of inconsistency for Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea, mired in 10th on the table and unable to break into the fight for European places.
However, they have won their last two consecutive Premier League matches against Crystal Palace at home (2-1) and away to Luton Town (2-3). Chelsea have won three times in their last four outings in the League.
Although they lost 1-0 away to Championship side Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg, the Blues will look to make it three wins on the trot in the league against Fulham.

After a run of three consecutive defeats in the Premier League, Fulham won at home to Arsenal, denting the visitors’ title hopes in the process. Returning to winning ways helps Marco Silva’s side as they look to stabilize their position in the mid-table.
Fulham have subsequently won in the FA Cup 3rd round against Rotherham (1-0) and lost in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final away to Liverpool (2-1).

On current form, football predictions on the 22bet site show that the match will be closely contested, with it being a London derby adding to the edge of the match-up. Given how close the match is likely to be, the attacking players for both sides are likely to be pivotal.
Cole Palmer
The former Manchester City starlet has been a revelation for Chelsea this season. His goalscoring and creativity have been the few sparks in an underwhelming season for Chelsea.
22bet’s free football predictions show that Palmer is odds-on to be influential in this match, with Mauricio Pochettino likely to restore him to a creative role and away from the false-nine role that he played against Middlesbrough in mid-week.
De Cordova Reid
Reid has five goals and two assists for Fulham this season, demonstrating his importance to the side. Expert soccer predictions highlight the forward as the likely outlet for Fulham’s attacking impetus on Saturday.
This is likely to be an attack versus defense match based on 22bet’s football predictions analysis. Chelsea will dominate the ball, whereas Fulham will be compact and frustrate the home side, attacking with pace in transitions.
Chelsea will retain Mauricio Pochettino’s preferred 4-2-3-1 shape, designed to give them control of the ball and allow quick passing to attack down the wings and through the middle.
Fulham will also adopt the 4-2-3-1 shape but more compact and narrow in its deployment on the pitch. They will defend narrow and deep, springing to quick attacks when they have the ball.
22bet pre-match odds show Chelsea with an edge, playing at home and having won their last two consecutive matches. The 22bet site will also offer live prediction football after kickoff in Saturday’s early kickoff.
| Chelsea | Draw | Fulham |
| 1.625 | 4.26 | 4.9 |
Chelsea will return to winning ways after midweek’s defeat at Middlesbrough. They will win and make it three consecutive triumphs in the Premier League.
