There’s no sign of second season syndrome at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s men are rolling along nicely and look well equipped to match last season’s top ten finish.

Wins over Everton and Luton, plus credible draws with Arsenal and Palace have shown that Silva’s men mean business once again. Throw in a run to the last 16 of the League Cup and this is a great time to be a fan of the Cottagers.

Just one win from their opening six league games makes dreadful reading for Chelsea fans, especially given the vast amount of spending at the club this year.

In fairness to Mauricio Pochettino, he has had to deal with a lengthy injury list and is yet to field his strongest team. Nevertheless, a number of big name signings are massively underperforming and the Blues are yet to establish a true identity under the Argentine. A win in the London derby will help get the team back on track.

Head to Head

Fulham won the corresponding fixture 201 last season, but that is their only win over Chelsea in 23 attempts. Prior to last season, Chelsea were on a seven game winning run over the Cottagers and overall they hold a 50-12 head to head lead.

Our Betting Tip for Today

The latest betting odds for the game have Chelsea as 21/20 favourites. Fulham can be backed at 3/1, whilst the draw is available at around 13/5.

Chelsea have done virtually nothing to justify their favourites tag here. They have been awful in recent games and hardly any of their star players are performing at a high level.

Fulham are no world beaters, but Marco Silva has put together a solid and well organised team that can exploit their vulnerable opponents. 3/1 looks a huge price for a home win and we think this makes a fantastic bet.
