Premier League - Away at Fulham as Chelsea vow to back on track


The 2022/23 season of the Premier League will have a make-up match tomorrow. Chelsea, whose performance has been unstable recently, will go to an away game to challenge the newly promoted Fulham, and hope to get all 3 points and continue to advance to the top of the standings.


In the earlier English FA Cup, Chelsea unfortunately lost 0 to 4 away to Manchester City, and only won 1 game in the last 8 games. In the last round of the Premier League, Chelsea lost 0 to 1 at home to Guardiola's team. In the past 8 rounds of the league, they only achieved an embarrassing result of 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses.


Chelsea are currently 10th in the Premier League standings with 25 points, 10 points behind Manchester United in fourth place. Therefore, if Chelsea want to continue to strive for the Champions League qualification, the only option left in this campaign is to take all 3 points.


Chelsea need to mark Mitrovic


For Fulham , this newly promoted team is currently ranked 7th in the standings with 28 points, 7 points behind the top 4. It is worth mentioning that Fulham have won all four games after the World Cup, including last week's 2-0 away victory over Hull in the English FA Cup. Morale is indeed higher than Chelsea.


Looking back at the past records of the two sides, Chelsea has 39 wins, 20 draws and 7 losses in 66 games against Fulham, and they have won all of the last 7 games. In the past 21 West London derbies, Chelsea have won 13 wins and 8 draws unbeaten. The last time they lost to Fulham has to be traced back to March 2006. Chelsea lost 0-1 at home that year.


It should be noted that Chelsea has only scored 1 goal in the last 3 games, while Fulham striker Mitrovic has scored 11 goals in 15 league games this season, naturally becoming one of the players Chelsea needs to guard against. one. However, core players such as Sterling, Haverts and Aubameyang also have to find the rhythm of scoring goals.
