Premier League Betting Preview: Fulham vs Chelsea

Fulham take on Chelsea in this West London derby clash at Craven Cottage, with kick-off set for 14:30 on Wednesday 7 January.

Fulham and Chelsea both look capable of finding the net and we’re really taken by the -161 available when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection. This means a nice return if there are goals at both ends.

Fulham had a 2-2 draw in their last game. This was at home to Liverpool at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva's side had 41% of possession and two shots on target, while Harry Wilson and Harrison Reed each scored one goal.

Chelsea will once again be led by interim manager Calum McFarlane, before incoming head coach Liam Rosenior takes charge of the Blues for the FA Cup clash with Charlton at the weekend.

Fifth-placed Chelsea played Manchester City on the road in their previous game. It was a 1-1 draw at Etihad Stadium. The Blues were restricted to 42% possession and recorded three shots on goal, while Enzo Fernandez found the net.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Chelsea have triumphed in the last two clashes against Fulham. A 2-0 win when hosting at Stamford Bridge came after a 2-1 away victory at Craven Cottage. In the past 10 H2H matches, there have been seven Chelsea victories, two Fulham wins and a draw.
