The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Fulham lock horns with Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea side in an important clash at Craven Cottage on Monday.

Fulham vs Chelsea Preview

Chelsea are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Blues edged Brighton & Hove Albion to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Fulham, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The home side defeated Norwich City by a 2-1 scoreline in the EFL Cup this week and will be confident ahead of this match.

Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction

Chelsea have an impressive squad at their disposal but are yet to come together as a unit this season. The likes of Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez can be effective on their day and have a point to prove this weekend.

Fulham face a formidable test on Monday but are capable of pulling off an upset when at their best. Chelsea are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Chelsea
