Fulham vs Chelsea

[Steve 10,227]

Confident we will get the win here today. 3-1 for me, Drogs to score first. Going to be a hard game.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I fancy 2-0, myself. Lampard will score - he always does against Full Ham.

I really hope Sturridge gets to play for at least 30 mins today.

[Shane 2,275]

Think our midfield will make the difference today, Essien should be able to deal with anything in the holding role, If we start Deco he can play quality ball to our strikers and as someone already mentioned Fulham like to play attacking football, Deco's passing could come in handy on the counter attack.

I see us starting with

Cech

Bosingwa - Terry - Alex - A.Cole

Essien

Ballack - Deco

Lampard

Drogba - Anelka

If the diamond hold's its shape well and The Boss and Ashley get up the wings I'm expecting us to win, However if Fulham manage to disrupt the diamond working and get in amongst them we could be in trouble. I really hope Deco starts because this is the sort of game where he will have time on the ball.

All in all i'm predicting us to scrape it 2-1, a DD, Drogba double, Both in the second half, Both coming late.

Dont know why, but I'm really confident about this game. Reckon we will win this quite easily, even if it is a derby.

[Frank on Fulham]

Hope we can get an early goal in this one, still no Yuri or Joecole?

You just have to love Frank for his humbleness and his smartness.

Ricardo Carvalho returns in place of Branislav Ivanovic.
