Dont know how a game when he had no shots on target would make him think more that Willy could now play in difficult matches.

Chelsea

Chelsea

Chelsea's win against Tottenham was just a third in seven league matches, drawing one and losing three.

They have lost their last three Premier League away games by an aggregate score of 12-0.

The Blues could lose four successive away league matches for the first time since a run of five from October to December 2000 under Claudio Ranieri.

They haven't gone four away league matches without scoring since December 1991.

Chelsea have the same record after 27 Premier League matches as last season under Antonio Conte (W16, D5, L6).

Pedro has scored eight Premier League goals this season under Maurizio Sarri, already double his tally in 2017-18 under Conte.

Half of Pedro's league goals in 2018-19 have come in London derbies.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

This is the 50th top-flight fixture between Fulham and Chelsea. The Cottagers have won only three of the previous 49 (D16, L30).
Fulham's current run of 17 games without victory versus Chelsea is their longest top-flight winless streak against any opponent.

Sarri is goin to show who the boss by freezing Kepa at least 2 coming matches. To choose from 2 training sessions is bullshit. Still Sarri caused a lot of dissatisfaction between old and young players.Not a good coach.

Worry not doommongers we're going to win this.

I can't believe how negative some of you are, yes! I know it's Chelsea but you and I are here to support 'em.

I believe he refers to the confidence in using feet under pressure in order to start the game 

(remember the world cup )

besides, fulham is not a difficult match (on the paper)

Heard that the 'racist' fans had their season tickets returned and bans lifted. Video and supporting evidence from stewards backed their story.

Apologies from Matthew Syed, Dan Levene, Ian Wright etc etc and Sterling …..?? Nah just silence

To quote Brian Clough ''young man, it is not played on paper''

This game needs to be taken seriously, manager just gone, ex Chelsea at the helm, a wounded neighbour just down the road can be dangerous.

Shouldn't under estimate them, for them they'll be playing like it's the Cup Final

Hopefully we won't play like it's a training game and what happens doesn't matter... 

We haven't won away this year league wise.. Or scored. Only one home game this month so be nice to win all 3!

Wow on some of the comments.  It's just Fulham. Surely we will score 3 or 4.

it's that type of cockiness, "oh its just Fulham" that has let us down in the past, underestimate relegation folder teams at your own peril. No easy games for us that's for sure, if we still want that top 4 place need to treat every game like a final.

Thing is it was just wolves.. It was just Leicester.. Was just Bournemouth... Southampton.. West ham... 

Palace and Newcastle also gave us worry. They shouldn't but doesn't mean anything. 

Man u won... We need to get every point!  Winning away be lovely. 

[Unionjack 7,531]

I'd start off with a normal strong Lineup and hope we can bring in the B team soon.

But would start CHO/RLC/Emerson MAYBE AC for Luiz

I'm slightly nervous about today. It doesn't help the fact that I can't watch the game, but Fulham have a new manager to impress (albeit a caretaker), and have absolutely nothing to lose. This is their single biggest game of the season, this is their cup final. They're dead and buried as far as relegation is concerned (yes, I know it isn't mathematically confirmed, but they're a loooong way from safety), so what better way than to go down fighting, and to dick your nearest rivals in the process? They've nothing to lose and everything to prove.

"Just Bournemouth" beat us 4-0 a couple of weeks ago. These are the games we generally struggle in, I'd be much more confident if we were playing a tougher side.

That's it. We should be fine but we've dropped so many silly points who knows. Plus it's away but gotta win away soon or we're screwed.

fancy 3-1 Chelsea.
