Friday evening, Fulham receives Chelsea on the occasion of the 19th day of the Premier League. Fulham wants to get out of the red zone. Chelsea hopes to resume their march forward.
Back in the top flight this year, Fulham is now 18th in the Premier League with 12 points from 16 games. In difficulty, the Cottagers have only won twice since the start of the championship, for 6 draws and 8 defeats. They still appear more solid these days and remain on 5 points sharing, series in progress. In the middle of the week, the promoted managed to glean 1 point on the ground of Tottenham (1-1). Last weekend, the London team won at QPR in the FA Cup (0-2 after extra time).
Only 9th in the Premier League with 6 points behind the Big 4, Chelsea do not meet expectations for the moment. Ambitious for this new season, the Blues have made a good start to the championship but have recently fallen in the standings. Indeed, the men of an increasingly threatened Franck Lampard have won only once in the last 6 days, for 1 draw and 4 defeats, and they remain on a heavy setback conceded at home against Manchester City (1-3). Last weekend, Chelsea qualified for the round of 16 of the FA Cup after their victory against Morecambe (4-0).
No absence can be reported from Fulham this weekend. The Cottagers have found a certain defensive solidity for some time and they have conceded only 3 goals in the last 5 days. Former Lyonnais Andersen won behind and he even wore the captain’s armband against Tottenham this week.
For Chelsea, it is important to mention the defections of midfielder Ngolo Kanté, right-back Reece James and substitute defender Christensen, injured. The FA Cup match last weekend allowed certain elements to regain a little confidence like the German internationals who both scored.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
Travelling to the promoted Fulham, Chelsea can not miss the opportunity to relaunch in this championship. Chelsea victory!
