Premier League 2022-23: Fulham vs Chelsea: Predicted lineup ... (Khel Now)

The Cottagers (Fulham) host the Blues (Chelsea) in the Premier League 2022-23 on Thursday night at Craven Cottage.

[Chelsea](https://khelnow.com/tag/chelsea-fc/) are in the chaos following their 4-0 [FA Cup](https://khelnow.com/tag/fa-cup/) loss to [Manchester City](https://khelnow.com/tag/manchester-city/) and presently sits in 10th position in the standings. Chelsea have just one win in eight games and we worry this match will add further disaster to their record, with Fulham looking top of their form. Zakaria’s presence will be beneficial to the Blues, but Graham Potter must believe him and he can blossom under him. He is always a threat to opponents, as seen by his 11 goals and two assists in 15 Premier League games. Graham was rumoured to be on the cusp of sacking following only one win in eight [Premier League](https://khelnow.com/football/category/premier-league) games. [Fulham ](https://khelnow.com/tag/fulham-fc/)plays a crucial match, and a win might move them closer to fourth place, as they now lie in seventh position in the standings.

However, with top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic unavailable due to suspension the Cottagers are forced to find a way to pick up their first win of the season without the Serbian international - they have failed in three attempts in the league so far. The visitors have an impressive record against the Whites conceding just six goals in their last 15 league meetings and never conceding more than once in a match in that time too. The Blues have failed to win in their last three matches in all competitions and picked up just two wins in their last eight league outings.

Fulham vs Chelsea: Preview (Chelsea FC)

It's a Thursday night local derby date for this rearranged fixture which we look forward to here…

After the game there was a dinner, and we met all the players. We had a good time in London for the return, looking around, doing the big sights. The manager spoke to us before the game and told us to try not to lose too high. Already on the same points they earned over their entire last Premier League season before relegation, our west London neighbours look set to break their snakes-and-ladders sequence of switching between tiers for five summers in a row. The Serbian cult hero is, though, banned tonight, leaving his coach with the dilemma of changing his beloved 4-2-3-1 system or deploying Vinicius as a straight swap. To be added to ‘List B’, a player has to be 21 or under but also associated with the club for a considerable period of time, which obviously does not apply to new signings. That makes them eligible to play for the Blues as Under-21 players in addition to the 25-man squad posted with the Premier League. Potter will likely deploy his new recruit behind or wide of a main striker and hope he swiftly assimilates the unique pace and physicality of the Premier League. [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](/en/teams/profile/pierre-emerick-aubameyang), [Carney Chukwuemeka](/en/teams/profile/carney-chukwuemeka), [Marc Cucurella](/en/teams/profile/marc-cucurella), [Thiago Silva](/en/teams/profile/thiago-silva) and [Denis Zakaria](/en/teams/profile/denis-zakaria) (not in the starting line-up at the Etihad on Sunday) will be among the players hoping to be involved against one of the most direct and open teams in the Premier League. Despite being out of favour with coach Diego Simeone, the 23-year-old has delivered virtually a goal or an assist every 90 minutes when called upon in La Liga. This timing of this rescheduled ‘postcode derby’ could be thought unfortunate considering Chelsea’s injury list arc and the fact the Cottagers are aiming for a fourth consecutive top-flight win for the first time since April 1966. Chelsea make our shortest away trip of the campaign this evening, crossing the borough for a Premier League clash at Fulham.

Chelsea take on Fulham in the Premier League on Thursday night, so we simulated the game to try and predict the final score.

The second half began, and all of a sudden it was a different game, with the hosts suffocating Chelsea into their own half. FIFA 23 predicts that Chelsea could get back to winning ways, overcoming a tough test against Fulham in the simulation. The Blues' captain was picked out with a drilled pass by Havertz and cleverly flicked the ball into the feet of Ziyech, and the Moroccan's first-time effort rifled past Leno to double the lead. Havertz flicked the ball into the Italian's path, and with pace not on his side, the midfielder rifled a powerful strike across goal from outside the box, flying past Bernd Leno for the lead. The Blues have already made three signings in the January transfer window in an attempt to get their season back on track, the latest arrival being The Blues' last outing was a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup, knocking Graham Potter's side out of the competition in the third round.

Fulham vs Chelsea prediction, odds and betting tips... (talkSPORT.com)

Chelsea are in desperate need of a victory to end a dismal run of form, but their neighbours Fulham are enjoying an excellent season and will be tough.

As such, Fulham will need other players to contribute in attack. Without him, Fulham will have to adapt. The Gabon international missed Sunday’s loss to Manchester City with a sore back. Chelsea rank 12th for goals scored this season, having found the net just 20 times in 17 games. Ten points adrift of the top four, it is safe to say they will not be playing Champions League football next term. They head into this game in the lowly position of 10th. Among the favourites for relegation before a ball had been kicked, Fulham are currently in the top seven. The signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has not worked out at all.

They have won seven derbies in a row heading into the latest edition on Thursday.

Chelsea have not lost any of the last 20 Premier League meetings between these two sides.

Chelsea are in the midst of a brutal run of form, sitting 10th in the Premier League table, and an injury crisis suddenly makes them even more vulnerable as ...

Willian loves a shot on goal from distance, and he's been one of the Whites' most consistent forwards in the past few weeks. For Chelsea, they have a lengthy list of players who will be sidelined, especially in the attack. Joao Palhinha has been sensational in midfield for Fulham this season, and his presence should help to lock down an already struggling Mason Mount. If Fulham are ever going to beat their West London rivals and break the long winless streak against them, now is the chance. The Whites have also not beaten Chelsea since 2006, a stretch of 21 matches across all competitions, including 20 in league play. Defenders Reece James (knee), Wesley Fofana (knee), and Ben Chilwell (hamstring) are all unavailable, and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy (finger) rounds out the extensive injury list. Neeskens Kebano is still out with an ankle injury, while defender Shane Duffy, who has barely featured this season, is ill. Given the opposite form of the two sides, Chelsea are only slight favorites, with a far smaller perceived advantage than usual when these two clubs meet. Fulham vs. Up front, Raheem Sterling (hamstring), Christian Pulisic (knee), and Armando Broja (knee) are all out injured for this match, although Potter confirmed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is "fine" after a back injury scare.

Fulham vs Chelsea: How to watch live, stream link, team news (NBC Sports)

Fulham host Chelsea in a west London derby which could see the Cottagers move six points ahead of the Blues in the Premier League table.

Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. Having 19-year-old midfielder Romeo Lavia back fit and firing is huge for Saints. Jordan Pickford continues to do his best in goal, while Demarai Gray is a real threat on the counter. The jury is still out on Nathan Jones from most Saints fans and that will be the case until they move off the bottom of the table and start to pick up points in the Premier League. They have been better defensively for most of this season but last time out against Brighton they conceded four and it could have been more. There is growing fan unrest, once again, as the Evertonians have hit out at owner Farhad Moshiri, long-time chairman Bill Kenwright and the rest of the Everton board. They are obviously struggling but their squad is pretty stacked and they spent big in the summer. Leandro Trossard is a player who makes sense to buy this month and will battle for minutes and improve their squad. They added Cody Gakpo in a shrewd piece of business but that was a luxury buy. They cannot afford to wait for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to regain his form. It also seems like Unai Emery wants to add a different type of center forward. Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Edouard Mendy remain out, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is battling through a back issue.

Fulham v Chelsea: Premier League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Can Chelsea halt their slump when they face their in-form neighbours at Craven Cottage? Find out with Rob Smyth.

52 min: Chance for Pereira Robinson belts the ball down the left wing to find Pereira, who runs off Chalobah and shoots wide of the near post from a tight angle. Leno comes out, Havertz tries to chip him, and the ball hits Leno in the face before deflecting behind for a corner. 55 min It’s a problem with his left leg, his knee I think, which he seemed to jar while kicking the ball away. From what I’ve read, and from talking to mates who are Liverpool fans, I agree that that was one of the rare examples where sacking a manager early on is almost essential. 63 min “One sign of how well coached Fulham are is that the players rarely seem to be any doubt what to do,” says Kári Tulinius. 70 min “Slightly unfortunate moment in the TalkSport commentary when discussing Zakaria’s injury and not appreciating the occasional value of a pause between sentences,” says Tom Stratfod. 58 min Replays confirm it was a wretched challenge, with Joao Felix’s studs going into Tete’s shin, and he can have no complains. Kepa came and got nowhere near it, and Vinicius pulled away from Chalobah to head into the empty net. The performance against Everton was not the greatest you’ve ever seen and Northampton aren’t a great team. I don’t necessarily think Potter shouldn’t be given time but I don’t agree that you shouldn’t fire a manager in his first season. Chelsea were better than in recent weeks, with Joao Felix pretty impressive – until he was given a straight red card early in the second half for a dangerous tackle on Kenny Tete. He tried an overhead kick and made the slightest contact before the ball landed at Azpilicueta’s right foot.
