Chelsea are in the midst of a brutal run of form, sitting 10th in the Premier League table, and an injury crisis suddenly makes them even more vulnerable as they take on a dangerous Fulham side at Craven Cottage.
The Blues have won just one of their last eight matches across all competitions, and manager Graham Potter has felt increasing pressure from the Chelsea supporters.
That means a match against a surprisingly stout Fulham side, who sit seventh in the Premier League table and have come close to even more positive results on the whole, could present a real problem for the Blues.
To make matters worse, Chelsea are suffering with a massive injury list, as up to 10 first-team players are either missing or doubtful for this match. That includes Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling, plus a host of other attacking players.
Team News
The biggest miss for Fulham is the suspension of Aleksandar Mitrovic who picked up his fifth yellow card of the Premier League season last time out against Leicester City. Neeskens Kebano is still out with an ankle injury, while defender Shane Duffy, who has barely featured this season, is ill.
Chelsea have a complete crisis on their hands. Up front, Raheem Sterling (hamstring), Christian Pulisic (knee), and Armando Broja (knee) are all out injured for this match, although Potter confirmed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is “fine” after a back injury scare. N’Golo Kante remains sidelined with his hamstring injury, as is Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Defenders Reece James (knee), Wesley Fofana (knee), and Ben Chilwell (hamstring) are all missing, and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy (finger) rounds out the extensive injury list.
Prediction: Fulham 1-0 Chelsea
