Chelsea have won the last 5 meetings between the two sides but this West London derby is like no other for a long time.
Fulham find themselves ahead of Chelsea in the league as they host their local rivals, and on the back of 4 straight wins, confidence at Craven Cottage will be sky high.
Meanwhile, Potter’s Chelsea are in massive trouble, with just 1 win in their last 7 games in all competitions.
Confidence is severely lacking from this Chelsea side, and understandably so, the injuries they’ve been hit with has decimated their side and makes them odds against for the first time in a long time against Fulham. Joao Felix is available and has been training but whether he’s thrown straight in is another question, he did score in his first start for Atletico after the World Cup so if he does make the squad he could be good value to score.
Fulham are without Mitrovic as he picked up a yellow card last time out. This is will be a big loss for Fulham and a huge relief for Koulibaly.
However, even without Mitrovic, Fulham could have more then enough to get the job done, they will relish the chance of playing this derby at this time with the Chelsea fragility. Fulham don’t have a great scoring record against Chelsea, just 1 goal in 4 meetings, so Mitrovic is a loss, but Chelsea have just 1 clean sheet since the Brentford game in the middle of October, so there will be no fear factor today, and Fulham have every chance of picking up a memorable 3 points. With BinkBet boosting Fulham to 7/2 (best market odds), it makes Fulham even more appealin, in what will hopefully be a memorable night down by the Thames.
Bets:
Fulham to win - 7/2 (BinkBet boost)
Joao Felix to score anytime - 9/4 (if he plays)
Carlos Vinicius to score and win - 11/2
