Chelsea play Fulham in the Premier League for the second time in three weeks this coming Friday and after another busy transfer window for The Blues, Graham Potter knows that his side need to start producing results sooner rather than later.

New Faces in West London

The January transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday evening and Chelsea in particular had a very busy month. On deadline day, Europe's biggest spenders sealed a British record transfer for Benfica midfielder, Enzo Fernandez. The World Cup winner is unlikely to feature on Friday but fellow new acquisitions, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Benoit Badiashile should play from the start.

Fulham completed the loan signing of Arsenal fullback, Cedric Soares on deadline day, whilst Sasa Lukic has joined from Torino on a permanent transfer.

Form

Chelsea remain tenth in the Premier League having won just one of their five league games so far in 2023. The Blues lost 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage on January 12th whilst they played out a 0-0 draw away at Liverpool last time out.

Fulham have lost 1-0 in successive league games since defeating Chelsea earlier this month. Marco Silva's side conceded a late winner at Newcastle United before they were edged out at home to Spurs in their last league game.

Betting Tips

Chelsea need to put a run of wins together sooner rather than later as they're in danger of missing out on European qualification altogether. We're backing Graham Potter's side to make home advantage count on Friday. A home win is generously priced at 4/7.

Chelsea scored just three goals in six matches throughout January, and incredibly, they've only scored more than one in a league game once since mid-October. Whilst Fulham are goal-less in their past two Premier League matches. Under 2.5 could be a sensible bet at 10/11, whilst we're tipping Chelsea to win to nil as our bet of the day at 31/20.

Big money January signing, Mykhaylo Mudryk, looked sharp in his brief cameo against Liverpool at Anfield last time out. The Ukrainian could be in line to start on Friday and is excellent value at 5/1 to score first. Alternatively, Mudryk is available at 9/5 to score at any time.

No player has received more yellow cards than Joao Palhinha (7) in the Premier League this season, yet the Fulham midfielder is well down the list in the ‘player to be carded' betting market. At 9/4 with 888Sport, don't miss out on this gem of a bet.
