Fulham and Chelsea meet in an exciting London derby in the 33rd round of the Premier League on Sunday.
With Fulham as the hosts, quite some advantage will be in their favour, and they will be expected to make the most of their vociferous fans in the stands.
Fulham, who have been one of the resurgent teams in the Premier League this season under Marco Silva, will unleash a lot of wing-play in this game to taunt Chelsea and exploit spaces in the final third.
Ranked 9th in the league table, Fulham will want to secure a berth in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season, but they will have to climb up to at least the seventh spot.
They will have a massive advantage in this game since only two of their players have been ruled out – Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson. Silva will have most of his players to choose from in this game to pick his best starting lineup.
Fulham predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Leno; Robinson, Bassey, Andersen, Castagne; Lukic, Berge; Iwobi, Pereira, Sessegnon; Muniz.
Chelsea, who are ranked sixth in the Premier League table with 54 points, are not far from Fulham, who have 48 points.
Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea started the season on a bright note before losing their way in the middle stages. But now that the business end of the season has approached in full flow, Chelsea seem to have found their feet once again.
However, for this game, a lot of injuries will hamper the Blues’ preparation, with the likes of Marc Guiu, Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana all ruled out. Gabriel Slonina, who sustained a finger injury recently, remains a doubtful starter.
One of Chelsea’s standout players, Cole Palmer, is ranked 2nd in big chances created in the competition (20). He has also created the most number of big chances for the Blues (20), and will clearly be the player to watch out for. The England international has had an unusually quiet last few weeks, and will hope to overturn that with a stellar showing against Fulham.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Fulham (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
Bet hereBoth these teams seem very well-balanced and matched at the outset, but Chelsea have historically been the stronger of the two. We expect them to remain unbeaten by the end of this game – either win or draw.
In their last Premier League outing, Chelsea drew 2-2 against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, and they will be looking to bounce back.
However, the story of that game was quite different as they were 0-2 at half-time and came back in fine fashion to score two goals and salvage a point.
Against Fulham, Chelsea will intend to start on the front foot. They have been unbeaten in 17 out of the 19 matches they have played against Fulham in the past. At this venue, Chelsea have been unbeaten in seven out of the eight matches played.
While Fulham have scored six goals in their last five matches, Chelsea have done so in just three out of their last four Premier League outings. However, we expect both teams to break their respective streaks in this game and get onto the scoresheet.
For Chelsea, Palmer will be the one who will have to play through the middle in order to create chances in the final third, whereas Rodrigo Muniz, formerly of Flamengo, will be the target man in the Fulham attack.
The coaches of both these teams – Silva and Maresca – prey upon loose balls in midfield, and are known to encourage their players to create quick transitions from defence to attack.
Ultimately, the side that manages to win most battles in midfield, take second balls without losing any tussles and provide their attacking thirds with impetus, will be the one emerging on the winning side.
Fernandez and Caicedo will be the ones doing this for Chelsea while Fulham’s choices are restricted to Berge and Lukic in midfield.
Chelsea have held an edge over Fulham in the past, as mentioned earlier, and beat them handsomely 2-0 the last time they played against them at Craven Cottage.
