Fulham hosts Chelsea in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 16th at Craven Cottage (London)
The Cottages have spent a lot of effort in previous games. And, curiously, Fulham didn't have to travel outside its hometown - all matches were against teams from London. First, there was a cup match with QPR, and the Hoops resisted to the last. That is, until the extra time, when they still conceded twice. And on Wednesday evening, less than three days before the home game with Chelsea, Scott Parker's charges played with Tottenham. Moreover, that game was literally inserted by the organizers in a hurry – initially, the Spurs were supposed to play with Aston Villa, but it was covered by the coronavirus. Not surprisingly, both clubs did not like such perturbations.

The Pensioners won the last game. They scored four unanswered goals, and Timo Werner finally broke his silence - an expensive German couldn’t score for a long time and was criticized even by Lampard. However, these 4-0 were in the cup meeting, where Chelsea played against modest Morecambe, the middle peasant of League 2, that is, a club from the 4th division of England. In the Premier League, Frank's charges are doing much worse. They gained only four points in six matches, which threw them into the middle of the standings. Manchester City breached Chelsea's defense especially easily - by the 34th minute, the Citizens had already managed to score three times (and, by the way, Zinchenko, who started the decisive phase of the attack, helped Gundogan to open the scoring). They have already started talking about the possible resignation of Lampard, naming various options, including Andriy Shevchenko. It seems that the current manager has not completely exhausted his credit of trust, but at the same time he risks being fired if he does not get things done in the Premier League.
Fulham will find it extremely difficult to work in such a schedule, and the rotation is limited. And Chelsea has no other option but to win if it wants to keep the manager. We will bet on the visitors’ victory with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with -1.0 handicap
