Goals Likely as Fulham Host Chelsea

Chelsea’s forward line has created chances consistently away from home this season. Fulham concede regularly at Craven Cottage against top sides and that trend continues here. Head to head meetings between these two often feature open play with both teams pushing forward. Missing defenders on each side could leave gaps that attackers exploit early. Recent matches show Chelsea scoring multiple times while Fulham add their own contributions at the other end. The London rivalry adds extra attacking intent from both managers. These patterns point toward at least a couple of goals overall.
