A West London Derby is in full swing this Wednesday as Fulham and Chelsea exchange blows at Craven Cottage on matchday 21 of the Premier League. The previous season witnessed Chelsea win both games. Will the Blues be able to make it three wins in a row against this opponent? Here's our match prediction.
Fulham are in 11th place in the league standings, and for some, that may seem a bit far from the European football spots, which is not the case. With 28 points accumulated from 20 points, they find themselves three points behind the last European football spot occupied by their opponents, Chelsea, in fifth place. Defeat here could see them drop as low as 14th place.
Many expected Chelsea to drop all three points against Manchester City in their recent league outing following the dismissal of Enzo Maresca. However, under the tutelage of interim manager Calum McFarlane, the team salvaged an important draw. Can McFarlane secure his first bragging rights this Wednesday?

Fulham - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Since the turn of the year, Fulham has failed to get the ball rolling in the Premier League. The home team has been held to two successive draws. Before this, they managed to conclude 2025 on a positive note, winning three games in a row.
The Cottagers' recent draw came against a resilient Liverpool side at Craven Cottage. A point was shared in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Harry Wilson opened the scoring for his side in the first 17 minutes, and Harrison Reed scored an equalizer in the dying embers of the game.
Despite that result, Marco Silva's men still exude confidence, having now gone four league games without defeat. In familiar surroundings, the team has avoided defeat in two games after back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Fulham have won just one of their last 13 home league games against Chelsea (L9, D3).
Even amid the bad news of their former head coach Enzo Maresca being dismissed from his role, Chelsea didn't let that derail their performance against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The Blues conceded the first goal of the match in the 42nd minute but managed to pull one back through Enzo Fernandez's last-minute equalizer to salvage a point in a drab 1-1 draw.
The visitors have now gone four league games without a win, recording three draws and a solitary defeat.

Fulham & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Fulham has three players on international duty for the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This includes the trio of Nigerian internationals, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Samuel Chukwueze.
In the injury room, four players are unavailable, including Rodrigo Muniz, Ryan Sessegnon, Kenny Tete, and Joshua King.
Raul Jimenez has been impactful for his team in recent weeks. In his previous game, he provided an assist, which marked his third goal contribution in four league games. He is the team's second top goal scorer and has a shot conversion rate of 11.11%.
Enzo Fernandez has been directly involved in two goal involvements against Fulham.
Chelsea are going to be without the services of Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez, Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo, and Romeo Lavia due to injuries. Wesley Fofana is also unavailable for this upcoming encounter as he is recovering from a fever.
After going seven games without a goal, Enzo Fernandez has started to find his rhythm, scoring in two successive league games. His equalizer last time out against Manchester City was his sixth goal in 19 appearances.
This has been the Argentines' international favorite fixture. In the previous season, he was involved in two goal involvements, from providing an assist and scoring a winner in the final home game.

Our Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction
Fulham have been consistent scorers in the league. The last time they failed to score was on November 8th against Everton. Despite being underdogs in this clash, they should be able to find the back of the net.
Chelsea are enduring a rough patch, and that is evident by their four-match winless run. There's a reason for the Blues to be optimistic, though, having won their last two league games against this opponent. Their last away league game ended in a 2-1 victory, indicating a similar result here. Our Fulham vs Chelsea prediction: BTTS.
