Chelsea - Fulham Önizlemesi

• Chelsea kazanacak
• İki takım da gol atacak

Chelsea return to Stamford Bridge for their first home Premier League derby of the season when they welcome Fulham in what promises to be a fascinating London clash. The Blues have already experienced both frustration and elation in the opening two rounds, beginning with a frustrating 0-0 draw away to Crystal Palace on the opening weekend before producing a rampant attacking display to thrash West Ham 5-1 on their travels.

That emphatic victory will have been particularly pleasing for manager Enzo Maresca, who is determined to mould Chelsea into a consistent force at the top end of the table. New signings continue to blend into the squad, and 18-year-old Estêvão made history against West Ham by becoming the youngest Chelsea player ever to register an assist in the Premier League. The teenager’s fearless display was one of several positives from a match where Chelsea looked confident and ruthless in attack, quelling any early fears of sluggishness following their packed summer schedule that included a Club World Cup triumph.

On the other hand, Fulham have proven resilient so far, collecting back-to-back 1-1 draws against Brighton and Manchester United. Both matches followed a similar pattern: the Cottagers fell behind but clawed their way back to earn a share of the spoils. That resilience has become something of a trademark for Marco Silva’s men, with no Premier League team winning more points from losing positions since the beginning of last season. However, Silva will want to avoid his side becoming too reliant on fightbacks, particularly against a Chelsea outfit capable of punishing slow starts.

Adding intrigue is Fulham’s midweek EFL Cup clash against Bristol City, a match that offered Silva the chance to rotate his squad ahead of this short journey across London. He will hope his players come into this derby with energy to spare, particularly as Fulham’s strong away record in London derbies last season showed their ability to trouble the bigger names.

Kafa Kafaya Geçmiş

This west London rivalry has been historically dominated by Chelsea. The Blues have lost only three of the 36 Premier League meetings between the sides, a defeat rate of just 8.3% – the lowest for any club facing the same opponent at least 20 times in the competition.

That said, Fulham pulled off one of the more surprising results of last season when they triumphed 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in the corresponding fixture. Rodrigo Muniz’s late winner stunned the home crowd and secured Fulham only their third Premier League victory against their neighbours. Chelsea will not have forgotten that blow and will be determined to restore their supremacy on home soil.

Sıcak İstatistikler ve Seriler

• Chelsea have recorded six clean sheets across their last eight Premier League home matches.
• The Blues have lost only one of their last 25 Premier League home games when starting as favourites (W18, D6).
• Fulham have enjoyed improved fortunes in London derbies, winning four of their last eight away clashes – as many as their previous 68 combined.
• Fulham failed to score in only two of their last 19 away league matches, highlighting their attacking consistency on the road.

İzlenecek Kilit Oyuncular

João Pedro (Chelsea)

The Brazilian forward has made a sharp start to life in Chelsea blue, scoring four goals in just four starts.

His record against Fulham is also strong, having produced both a goal and an assist in two meetings last season. With doubts lingering over the availability of Cole Palmer after he was withdrawn against West Ham, Pedro’s ability to lead the line and carry the attacking burden could be decisive.

Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham)

Muniz has quietly developed into one of Fulham’s most reliable forwards, particularly away from home.

Six of his last ten league goals have come on the road, and his match-winning strike at Stamford Bridge last season remains fresh in the memory. Fulham will look to him again to provide a moment of inspiration in what is likely to be a tough evening against Chelsea’s defensive unit.

Team News

Chelsea may be forced to cope without influential playmaker Cole Palmer, who was taken off with a knock against West Ham. Enzo Maresca otherwise has a strong squad to choose from, with the likes of João Pedro, Estêvão, and Nicolas Jackson pushing for prominent roles in attack.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has a near full-strength squad available, with Antonee Robinson returning from injury to feature off the bench against Manchester United. That gives Silva flexibility in his backline, while Muniz is expected to continue leading the line after his strong end to last season and solid early form.

Bahis Analizi

Chelsea’s dominant record in this fixture, particularly at Stamford Bridge, cannot be ignored. The Blues have scored two or more goals in 18 of their Premier League wins over Fulham this century, and given the fluidity of their attacking performance against West Ham, a repeat looks likely.

Fulham are dangerous opponents, especially given their ability to recover from setbacks, but their defensive vulnerabilities could prove costly. Backing Chelsea to win with over 1.5 team goals looks like the value bet, while both teams to score could also appeal given Fulham’s recent scoring record on the road.

Tahmin

Chelsea 3-1 Fulham

Chelsea’s superior quality and home record should see them through, but Fulham’s knack for finding the net means they are capable of at least scoring once in this London derby.
