Fulham at Chelsea 12/2/18 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Chelsea have failed to win each of their last two league matches and will now have a really tricky task in their return to domestic duties. They got a nice morale boost in a Europa League match mid-week and will now fight to get three points. Fulham are coming off their first win after seven losses in a row and they looked great after the change in coach.

Chelsea (8-1-4) played a great match in the Europa League mid-week against Greek side PAOK, beating them by an easy 0-4 at home. They really needed that win as prior to that they met their first loss of the season in a harsh 1-3 on the road against Tottenham. Chelsea are currently sitting at the 5th spot of the league table with 28 points, two behind Tottenham the top. Chelsea have been really strong at home this season and are undefeated after 11 matches in three competitions (8-0-3). But they have only kept three clean sheets in the process and only failed to score once. Fulham (2-9-2) finally blew out for a win in their last match when they beat Southampton by 2-3 at home. The change in coach did wonders for Fulham, as coach Ranieri is known for winning that title with Leicester and also with his work in Chelsea. Fulham were coming off seven consecutive losses and really enjoyed a nice win. They are still stuck at the bottom of the Premier League though, with just 8 points and one point behind the red line. Fulham have been pretty bad on the road so far (0-6-1), where they have failed to score in four of their last five.
