In this 22nd week match, on Friday Feb 3rd, Chelsea will play host to Fulham in a clash of these two closely matched Premier League teams in the ever popular London derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Chelsea sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Liverpool. Liverpool had 15 on net, and Chelsea had 11, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, Fulham recorded a 1-1 draw against Sunderland. Jack Clarke struck first for Sunderland in the 6th minute, then in the 61st minute, Layvin Kurzawa sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Tom Cairney earning Fulham at least a draw. Fulham is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Fulham won by a score of 2 to 1. Willian struck first for Fulham in the 25th minute, then Kalidou Koulibaly tied it up for Chelsea in the 47th minute.
Daniel James and Layvin Kurzawa are the top scorers for Fulham in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Chelsea hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Kalidou Koulibaly and Kai Havertz, and they each have 1 goal.
