Fulham - Chelsea prediction: The Blues must stand up and shoulder the challenge

Fulham is not at risk

The Craven Cottage team has gone through a series of 5 consecutive draws and is still stuck in 18th place on the rankings with only 12 points. After more than a month of losing to Man City, Fulham showed that they are a team without any special features. In addition, the enthusiasm of the stars in the squad is not high.

Whether playing at home or away, the Premier League rookie can only promote their spirit in a half-hearted way. If they lose first, Scott Parker's team will fight fiercely to find an equalizer. However, in the opposite direction, when scoring first, Fulham was superficial and could not keep the advantage. The London side have left their fans unable to feel any efforts for a Premier League place.

Fulham have only one mental support, which was their most recent draw against Tottenham. If they like to play "mouse", The White are not inferior to any team in the Premier League. Scoring first and playing hard, that is the scenario Fulham is aiming for against Chelsea in the hope that a miracle will happen and help them get 3 points.

Chelsea must win if they don't want to "shoot themselves in the foot"

While competing for the championship at the beginning of the season, Chelsea made things difficult for themselves because of their confusing weakness in the first leg. Not to mention injuries, expensive stars are all harmless.

Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech failed to meet expectations, leading to a psychological decline for the entire team. In a season determined to "change the blood" of the attack, Frank Lampard has failed, at least for now. Finally, with a trio of attacking new signings worth nearly £170 million, the Blues have to rely on those who seemed to have eliminated them since the beginning of the season such as veteran Olivier Giroud and the "thorny" of Tammy Abraham last season.

Lampard had great courage when he was playing football, but when he took the coaching position, he appeared quite immature. Chelsea always meet a team that is confused or plays proactively, they often reveal their inherent weaknesses. Recent consecutive defeats against Wolves, Everton, Arsenal, Man City have proven that The Blues are a weak team.

Fulham will study very carefully the teams that have defeated Chelsea in the past. The disadvantage is that away from home, Chelsea may have to take a break even though their opponent is only the team ranked 18th. If he fails, Lampard's seat will certainly shake fiercely.
