Fulham News and Form
It was another fairly tame effort from Fulham in midweek. They suffered a loss against Southampton to leave themselves with little shot at survival. They are eleven points away from safety at the moment. Fulham are now on a four-match losing streak in the top flight and they have lost six of their last seven (W1).
At Craven Cottage this season in the top flight, Fulham have produced a W4 D3 L6 record. They have scored 17 goals in their home fixtures this season and they have conceded an average of two goals per home game.
Fulham have lost each of their three games at home this season against current top-five sides and in fact, all four of those home wins have been against sides currently in the bottom six with them.

Just once this season have the Cottagers managed to keep a clean sheet. They don’t have one in any of their last eight home and away. Fulham have actually conceded at least two goals in each of their last eight home games.

Chelsea News and Form
Chelsea found the perfect tonic to their EFL Cup Final defeat as they stepped out in league action in midweek and beat Tottenham 2-0. That was just the boost that they needed. That was a home win though and they are still carrying some poor away form with them though at the moment.
Chelsea have lost each of their last three league game on the road, shipping twelve goals in that sequence without having scored. So this will be a big chance for them to get some away momentum going as they visit their neighbours. Overall this season Chelsea are at W7 D1 L5 on their travels.
The Blues have taken a win in all six of their road games played against sides who are currently sitting 13th or lower in the league table. They have averaged 1.5 goals per away game, while 77% of their away games have gone over 2.5 goals. Chelsea have earned a clean sheet in 38% of their away games so the numbers aren’t bad.
It is just their recent form which has taken a pretty bad nosedive. Both teams have scored in just 38% of their away games. The Blues have not been involved in a draw in any of their last ten. Chelsea opened the scoring in eight of their games away from the Bridge this season, and only Man City and Liverpool have better defensive records in the top flight than the Blues currently have.
