Preview of Chelsea vs Fulham at 19:30 on January 13: Prediction of the Outcome

Chelsea, despite showing strong signs of a comeback, suffered a setback against Middlesbrough in the League Cup semi-final first leg. However, it was a match where Chelsea had poor finishing and lacked luck. Therefore, they need to rejuvenate their spirits for the upcoming clash against Fulham in the Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino faces a striking dilemma with both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku nursing injuries. The sole available striker, Armando Broja, is not the ideal finisher at the moment.

In this context, hosting Fulham becomes a challenging puzzle for Chelsea at the moment. Despite not being highly rated in terms of class, Fulham is in excellent form. They defeated Arsenal on the last day of 2023, overcame Rotherham in the FA Cup third round, and had a commendable match at Anfield in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
