Craven Cottage will see Fulham host the second of back-to-back English Premier League home games, as they welcome Chelsea on Wednesday, January 7.
It is the fifth consecutive match in which Fulham will play in London, following a home match against Nottingham Forest, back-to-back away games against West Ham and Crystal Palace and a draw versus Liverpool on Sunday, January 4.
Manager Marco Silva’s side are unbeaten in their last five matches, taking 11 points from a possible 16 and will know that a win over their West London rivals could see them climb to the top 10 of the Premier League table.
Wednesday night will see the Cottagers look to rewrite a poor record against Chelsea, who are without a manager after Enzo Maresca departed last week.
The Italian left Stamford Bridge following a fallout in relations with Chelsea’s backroom staff and rumoured interest from other clubs in penning his signature.
Their last seven Premier League matches have seen them win only once, but their lack of a manager didn’t appear to hinder them at the Etihad Stadium – where they drew 1-1 with Manchester City – at the weekend.
What are the best bets for Fulham vs Chelsea?
Match to end in a draw
Fulham’s recent resurgence in form could prove troublesome for Chelsea, who have won only one of their last seven Premier League matches.
Both teams to score
Whilst not evidently apparent in head-to-heads, goals are plentiful in both teams’ recent matches.
Both teams have found the net in seven of Fulham’s last nine matches, whilst the selection has landed in all of Chelsea’s last five.
Enzo Fernandez to score or assist
The midfielder has been influential recently and often scores and assists in bunches, as seen at the top of the season.
