Given Chelsea's advantage in class and the Blues' high scoring output in recent matches, the visitors look like the favorites in this London derby. Fulham will try to put up a fight with the support of their home crowd and a compact defensive setup, but it will be difficult for the hosts to contain their opponents' powerful attacking line. The most logical outcome of this matchup is a victory for the Blues.
