Chelsea, who are in the middle of terrible form, hope to overcome their injury problems and end their winless streak when they visit Fulham next at Craven Cottage.

Following a three-game losing streak in the Premier League, Graham Potter's team is currently tenth in the standings, three points below Fulham.

This puts a lot of pressure on the manager so early in his tenure to deliver. Chelsea will need to make substantial progress if they hope to win against a confident opponent who have won all four of their last games, moving them up to seventh place in the standings and closer to the European berths. All of these make this game an interesting one.

Fulham vs Chelsea Dream 11 Prediction:

Considering the reputation and quality depth of the side, Chelsea should have been the dominant team in this fixture. But this year, things have totally changed around, and Fulham will go into this one with all the confidence in the world—and for a good reason.

Marco Silva's men have lost once in the last five games while Chelsea have won just once in the meantime. When Chelsea lost both games in a doubleheader against Manchester City last week and if they don't pick themselves up from that mess, this will undoubtedly be a challenging game for them.
