Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from their setback in the EFL Cup on Saturday when they return to Premier League action against Fulham. The Cottagers are also looking for a return to form after losing three of their last four.
Before Betting On Chelsea vs Fulham
It has once again been a case of one step forward and two steps back for Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea, as the coach would have watched on in frustration in midweek after the Blues suffered a 1-0 loss on the road against Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup. However, their league form has been better in recent weeks after winning two on the bounce.
Fulham will be the visitors to Stamford Bridge this weekend, and they should be confident after winning their previous match in the competition. A victory for the Cottagers at the home of their local rivals will take them to within a point of the Blues in the league standings.
Chelsea’s record against Fulham at Stamford Bridge could be the key trend to consider this weekend, as they are without a loss in their last 18 since a defeat against the Cottagers in October 1979. Meanwhile, Fulham have recorded just a single win from their last 23 Premier League fixture against the Blues.
The Blues have also recorded victories in each of their last two London derbies in the Premier League. That is as many wins as they had recorded in their previous 13 attempts. Meanwhile, Fulham will be chasing a third straight victory in a London derby this weekend for the first time since April 2013.
Chelsea vs Fulham Offshore Odds & Pick
Chelsea’s setback in midweek could be a concern coming into this fixture, as they were well below the standard required against Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup. Therefore, it could be worth taking a chance on Fulham securing a very rare win on the road against their local rivals in the Premier League.
