Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
It’s the local derby between Chelsea and Fulham on Boxing Day. Chelsea are second in the Premier League with their opponents in ninth position. The Blues lost ground at the top of the table on Sunday. They could only draw 0-0 at Everton and then had to watch leaders Liverpool beat Tottenham 6-3. That has put Chelsea four points off the top and they've played a game more than their rivals. A win over Fulham will be their third successive home league victory.
Fulham also drew 0-0 on Sunday and would have expected a better result against Southampton. The Cottagers have now drawn each of their last three league games, the other two against Arsenal and Liverpool. Their record against Chelsea is not a good one though as you'll read later in this preview. They have drawn four of their eight away league matches this season but this looks a tough game for them. Read our match prediction below.

Chelsea - Fulham: Form Analysis
Chelsea's draw at Everton on Sunday ended a run of eight successive league wins. Back in August, the Blues lost their first home league game of the season to Manchester City. Since then though, they have gone seven Premier League games at Stamford Bridge.
Three of their last four home league matches have been won, most recently a 2-1 win over Brentford. That made it at least two goals scored in each of those wins. The loss to City is their only home league loss in their last 15 they’ve played.
Four of the last six home league matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored with both teams scoring in six out of seven.
What is it like to score at Stamford Bridge?
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five league games but four have ended level. The Cottagers will be hoping for a better result at Stamford Bridge than in recent years. Only two points have been earned from their last six league visits to Chelsea, Not one goal has been scored by them in those matches.
Their away league form this season has produced only a couple of defeats. Two have been won and four drawn and Fulham come into this match unbeaten in their last four on the road.

Chelsea & Fulham Squad Analysis
Chelsea will have Marc Cucurella back for this match. He was suspended for the goalless draw at Everton after being sent off at home to Brentford. He's expected to make an immediate return to the starting line-up and replace Axel Disasi.
On the injury front. Reece James is back training but is unlikely to feature in this match. Romeo Lavia could be back in the squad for this home game against Fulham. Chelsea will be hoping for more goals from Nicholas Jackson. He's scored in three of their last four home league matches.
Fulham will be without Tete and Nelson.
The visitors will be without Kenny Tete for a while. Timothy Castagne is likely to again feature for Fulham in defence. Also definitely out for the Cottagers is Reiss Nelson who isn't expected back until February.
Emile Smith Rowe missed Fulham's match against Southampton at the weekend but may return for this local derby.

Our Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction
Chelsea play Fulham, Ipswich and Crystal Palace in their next three games. They will be hoping to end the year with a run of wins to boost their Champions League qualification hopes. Home form is strong and they will be going all out to maintain their good run of results at home to Fulham.
The away side are in the top ten but could only draw with Southampton on Sunday. They draw far too many games but will do well to get a result at Stamford Bridge. Our main Chelsea v Fulham prediction is Chelsea to win.
