Chelsea, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Liverpool in their previous meeting was a fairly decent result for Chelsea last time out. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 15 attempts and 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through the defence of their opponent's, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 4 and seen valuable points lost.
It's been a mixed run of form for Chelsea recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Fulham, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur will not have sat easily with the Fulham squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 53% of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Marco Silva will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Aleksandar Mitrović has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Chelsea.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Fulham that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
It's been a very long time since The Cottagers came to Stamford Bridge in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 4 visits. Goals should be on the cards for Chelsea in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Cottagers in their last 8 meetings together.
Playing at home, Chelsea have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 15 times they have faced Fulham in the league.
Chelsea manager Graham Potter has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Armando Broja (Knee), Ben Chilwell (Hamstring), Wesley Fofana (Knee), Reece James (Knee), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring), Noni Madueke (Ankle), Édouard Mendy (Broken finger), Christian Pulisic (Knee), Raheem Sterling (Hamstring) and Denis Zakaria (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Shane Duffy (Illness) and Neeskens Kebano (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Marco Silva will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
