A vital London derby awaits for different reasons as Chelsea, who are currently at the zenith of the Premier League table, travel to Craven Cottage to take on relegation threatened Fulham. Felix Magath’s side are currently at the bottom of the table and in all probability will go down despite the former Bayern Munich manager’s presence. Craven Cottage provides a different challenge for Jose Mourinho’s men but the Blues shouldn’t drop any points in their quest for the Premier League title.
Chelsea come into this encounter on the back of a 1-1 draw against Galatasaray in the first leg of the Champions League in Turkey, with their last Premier League game being the lucky “Champion-esque” 1-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge last week. Fulham however couldn’t grab three points against West Brom last week despite leading but will definitely give their best stop Chelsea this week.
Here is Chelsea’s projected strongest line up against the Cottagers.
Goalkeeper:
Petr Cech will be under the sticks and the Czech International as always will have to be on top of his game for the encounter. Chelsea this season have been ill prone to concede goals in every match, like the Galatasaray clasg has suggested.
