Tonight, we see the newly promoted Fulham side go toe to toe against the Chelsea Blues who are currently without a manager after the recent sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
Chelsea sought to commence a new chapter after having a rough start in the league despite bolstering their squad with notable signings. In addition to that, having suffered unsightly setbacks against Everton and Leeds United early in the season including the shocking loss against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League has brought panic in the dressing room as well as the board. However, they ought to regain some of the long-lost form and put points on the table.
Fulham, on the other hand, has had a decent start to the season while sitting 10th in the league. Having drawn their first game against Liverpool and defeating Brentford and Brighton, Fulham is a tough nut to crack and might cause a few upsets. Moreover, defeating a shaky Chelsea side would instill tremendous confidence in the fellow London side.
