Fulham have been in excellent form recently, winning three games in a row in all competitions, beating Leicester City in the last away game through a lone goal scored by Aleksandar Mitrovic in the 17th minute.
Marco Silva’s men also advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup after the team managed to beat Hull City 0-2 on 7 January. Fulham’s two winning goals were scored by Layvin Kurzawa and Daniel James.
The Cottagers are trying to appear new this season since the team won the English Championship – the second level of English football, and got promoted to the Premier League. The management introduced a number of star players such as Leno, Palinha, Pereira whose game has improved significantly.
Mitrovic has even scored 6 goals in the first six rounds of the Premier League this season, and Fulham is now in 7th place in the Premier League standings with 28 points from 18 matches. Even though it is very far from Arsenal and Manchester City which are in the top two ranks, Fulham can still compete to win a ticket to European competition next season.
On the other hand, Chelsea had to go through a bad start to the season. In the last 10 matches in the Premier League, Chelsea have only won 1 match, namely when they hosted Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge [there was 28 last December. Meanwhile, last weekend’s match, Chelsea lost 2 times in a row to Manchester City with a score of 0-1 each in the Premier League on January 6, and lost 4-0 in the third round of the FA Cup on January 8.
Losing a lot of points in the last 10 matches has made the Blues drop to 10th place with 25 points. Graham Potter’s army just recorded 7 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from 17 matches.
It is hoped that the postponed match of week 7 against Fulham can add to Chelsea’s collection of points to raise its ranking again. After being left by Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter still seems to need time to improve the Blues squad so that it fits the expected tactics.
