Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction

Chelsea were defeated by Championship Middlesborough in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final during the week, and I expect them to bounce back in this one. Prior to that result, they were victorious in six of seven, including a win on penalties in the Carabao Cup against Newcastle. Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be keen to continue their good league form, as they look to fire themselves up the league. Fulham did win their last league game against Arsenal, but prior to that lost three on the bounce; 3-0, 0-2 and 3-0. I think the Blues will win this home fixture comfortably.

Cole Palmer is one of Chelsea’s main men this season, following his summer switch from champions Manchester City. In his 17 Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season, he has bagged himself eight goals. In that time, he has managed 17 shots on target, an average of exactly one per game in the league. Chelsea will create several chances in this one, and I think Palmer will be right at the heart of their attacks. He is great odds to have at least one shot on target in this one.

I’m backing Joao Palhinha to pick up a yellow card in this one. In his 17 Prem matches played this season, the Portuguese midfielder has picked up eight yellow cards already, with 28 fouls made in that time, an average of about 1.5 fouls per game. He will be in for a tough 90 minutes in this one against a strong and physical Chelsea midfield, and I think he is good odds to collect his ninth booking of the season in this one as his side visit Stamford Bridge.
