predicting this match is a little difficult because if you want to explore how these two teams actually have equal performance at the moment, so even though Fulham will host this match, it does not mean Chelsea will lose. maybe Chelsea is currently unstable but we have to look at the bright side before placing a bet. lets just look at the few times these two teams have faced each other to compete and in the match between these two teams we can see that even though they have equal performance and Chelsea looks a little bad, it is possible that this team will beat Fulham. It would be better to be careful placing bets on this match and for myself it would be safer not to bet on this match.

The chance is always there as long as pochettino will not be doing another stupid thing. The last match is quite better caused by i have seen some players back to their actual positions. Im not going to be the one who complain about the result from the previous match but some improvements actually needed. Chelsea took a win against brighton already a very big motivation for the club. Even though the second goals annulled by the referee but it's pure referee's guilty. Im so happy to see that chelsea can keep up the cleansheet in the EFL club against brighton.
It's boosting the club a lot. Im just feeling so glad to see a victory. The way referee was annulling the second goal showed if the referee was still crap. I hope there there will be more improvement on the referee.
Reece james and chilwell may also absent in upcoming match against  fulham. A victory against brighton like a very big motivation to the players to play better in upcoming match.

I think Man United improved a bit after they lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The 2 wins they obtained were against Burnley and Crystal Palace became quite important support for their self-confidence. Apart from that, players who had previously been injured were also able to play again, so that will provide many options for Ten Hag in choosing the composition of players and efficient strategy to face their opponents.

The match against Crystal Palace in the Premier League is a good opportunity for Man United to strengthen their steps. They will play at home, so it is very likely that they will get a win, as long as they can keep playing consistently.

The bookies favors Chelsea to win the match and if you check their past 5 matches you'll  see that Chelsea have been more dominant and have won about 3 out of 5 with Fulham winning just 1, but with the current performance of Chelsea i doubt if they'll be able to defeat Fulham away from home, even though the had managed to win Brighton in the EFL tournament because Brighton are not a team to be underestimated.

 But i agree with you when you mentioned that the best possibility is a draw, Chelsea would dominate the game as usual but would find it difficult to get a goal due to lack of a good finisher and even though they managed to score a goal, Fulham would reply, or the game could probably end with a goalless draw,  Fulham are playing at home which gives them more advantage over Chelsea.

That's almost the same thing with David de Gea, he never had that self pride, like saying something and stick to it no matter how dedicated he has been with the side, and Man UTD knew so they took advantage of the situation, that's why Manchester United player with him till they allowed him go. Now with Sancho, I think the player doesn't want same thing to happen to him and the coach shouldn't get away with it this time around. You can't just say something that's not true about me and get away with it and even expect me to apologize and make me look stupid, that's not cool.
Sometimes is better to forget as in never to buy what the managers tells the media because they can make the players look like the bad one and them the saint.
What I'm saying is that Sancho and Erik ten Hag should look for a way to settle it.



You have said it all and I quite agree with you on this but you should never forget that sometimes these coaches over step their boundaries and they feel since they're the coach they're free to do whatever they feel like and they'd get away with it.
Players deserve their respect too.

Chelsea's chances of winning will indeed be greater, but we know how the Chelsea squad's performance currently tends to be unstable. Pochettino must be very aware of his team's current performance. he is still having difficulty changing Chelsea for the better. he may need time, or perhaps until fans' patience will run out when no change is shown.

but I think the result could be bad for Chelsea, or the best possibility is a draw.

The good news is that Antony will return to training. Antony has not been named as a suspect and has been arrested either in Britain or Brazil. Antony has provided some evidence to support his statement. But even though he is back with United after more than 4 weeks and has not played in 4 games, it seems that he will not play against Crystal Palace. Man United seem to need his manpower and the management continues to monitor the progress of the case.

Chelsea performance is still full of mystery, hopes of winning will be discussed again when they meet Fulham in the seventh week. Both of them have just achieved an important victory in the Carabao Cup, this result will be valuable capital for Chelsea and Fulham when they meet in the EPL. Whoever wins will improve their position in the middle of the standings, yes this meeting feels more suitable to be called a derby of mid-table clubs. In terms of percentage, Pochettino squad is still superior to Fulham, the momentum to recover and improve their performance is the right headline for the Blues this time.

In the previous match, Chelsea was able to achieve good results over Brighton. We know that the quality of Roberto De Zerbi squad is still better than Fulham. So the chance of winning for the Blues is very big, but of course it won't be easy because the match will be played at home to Fulham. What is certain is that Pochettino is currently under great pressure, this match will be a gamble of fate for the Argentine man.

Now everything is difficult, we don't know what is right and wrong, but what is certain is that the result of this feud has caused the Manchester United team to suffer quite a loss and now it is even rumored that Sancho will be loaned out in the January transfer market, which means that the Manchester United team will have to bear the losses from the case. This.
I am not defending the players but I think Ten Hag should also be wise in building communication with the players, this is not the first time Ten Hag has had problems with his players.

With Chelsea previous squad that was managed by formwr owner, Abramovic, we supposed not to be having this conversation right now because Chelsea then was fire and the fans could easily counts their defeats each season. The present day Chelsea is totally out of line, not form and having challenges scoring goals. Fulham are average side, blues will focused on winning them inother to grab a second winning in EPL this season, Mauricio Pochettino will make it happen, he did mapped out the appropriate players against Brighton, I just hoped he do the same against Fulham. Chelsea is an elite team, time for them to start behaving like one.

I don't think Sancho would help the team as well, instead of allowing his pride make his form to reduce more why not apologise to the coach so as to start training with the first team, maybe the coach would give him a chance to prove himself and show to the fans that the coach was wrong, by displaying a very good performance on the pitch, after all Wambissaka was also called and even benched for Dalot but the coach but he worked hard to improve and impressed the coach.

 Erik Ten Hag is the coach of Manchester United and he knows what's best for his team, if they coach says you're not doing fine, or meeting up with his standards, then it's left for the player to be very punctual in the training ground and work hard to be at his best, instead of replying back to the coaches comment like Sancho did, a disrespect to the coach is like disrespecting the club, Sancho won't dare try such a thing if it were in Sir Alex Ferguson's era, i don't even think he would've made the 1st team.

I do not think the victory over brighton can give the chelsea lads any spark or ginger or vibes to defeat fulham on saturday. They played a rotated Brighton side in the carabao cup. In the EPL this weekend, Chelsea will play a full strenght Fulham side and they must aim to score atleast 2 goals if they want to defeat fulham because the fulham team will always score a goal or 2

Can this chelsea side score 2 goals? Can they even find the target once in the EPL? This are hard questions Chelsea does not have proofs for.

Even though they still don't appear consistent, the victory over Brighton should be able to spark enthusiasm for the Chelsea players to win the match again against Fulham. Yes, in the last two seasons the Blues have been so down that it is easy for anyone to win three points. For this week's match I believe Chelsea will be hunting for victory again, in the betting market they don't have a big chance of winning but I believe the Blues will be able to overcome Fulham's resistance.

Manchester United seems quite better than Crystal Palace in their previous match. You are right in saying this is not a good start for them because we noticed how their performance has been moving from the start of the season. However, I think having the same point doesn’t guarantee the winner of the game in an English Premier League competition, so we should wait and see, and if you say this is the point to be followed, then definitely Manchester United's performance looks greater than that of Crystal Palace. However, we can say, Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow.


Manchester United are still going to face Crystal Palace tomorrow. Nothing is new that they will face a big team again. Because when we said Manchester United are facing Crystal Palace, then definitely Crystal Palace are not a big team to them. I’m not trying to guarantee winning from them despite the fact that their performances look a little bit poor this season, but since they have played with Crystal Palace in the EFL competition and they win, I can say I still have hope on them to still have something good tomorrow because we cannot say their victory is luck; 3 goals are not only by luck; we still need to include their performance well to get it.

I agree with you on this, Mudryk and Palmer have been showing positive impact on the team and their confidence have increased so well that the coach should understand and keep building on the momentum. Mudryk’s performance have improved in recent matches even though the goals and assists are not coming in yet but if the coach can consistently start him in matches i am sure the goals and assists will come in and this improvement could be due to starting couple of matches.

Poch should start having trust in his attackers and stop playing too many defenders than he should and keep giving palmer and Mudryk the chance they need,  i am certain he would start sterling ahead of palmer in our next match which is not right to me. 3 man defense is not alright because it’s a 5 men defense in disguise since the wing midfielders are mostly defenders, which are likely to be Gusto and Chilwell if Gusto was not suspended so he should just play a 4 men defense instead to make room for more attackers.

It’s true that their performances is getting worse with time. Chelsea is currently going through alot so we can’t be certain of matches they can win anymore so let’s not see them as the big team they use to be, all are in the past now. They have good quality players and enough squad depth to even challenge for the league but until they can figure out where there problem lies and find a solution to it fast they will still struggle throughout this season as well. Fulham maybes the under dog but they are not a team you can write off easily even if chelsea are not struggling they will give them a good fight.

I was so disappointed in Chelsea when they dropped points to some of the easiest opponents in the league they could have picked maximum points from. Losing to Nottingham and a draw with Bournemouth was so frustrating for me as a Chelsea fan, i just knew from that moment that we will have a terrible season. If we can’t win against these teams what will happen when we face stronger opponents? It’s going to be a long season for us and at times i just wish they should just start a new season already.

Pochetino should not let his love for a certain player cloud his judgement, decisions and choices. Thiago Silva caused some errors during the game over the weekend against Villa. If he died improve he should be dropped.
Against Fulham it is a match between two londoners Chelsea must do all they can to makeup for all the draws and loses they have seen.
In addition, Palmer, Caicedo Enzo Fernandez and Mudryk should all start. Once Injured players returns some players will kt make the lineup again.

Their performance this season means that gamblers should not expect much from Chelsea. I agree with what you said that it will take at least two seasons for Chelsea to rebuild the team into the Chelsea that everyone knows. Maybe even longer than that. I just hope that Chelsea will not become like United where they have been a mid-table team for so long.

Not only this season, even since last season Fulham has always been better than Chelsea and it looks like this time we will see Fulham again being able to beat Chelsea at home. If we look at the meeting between the two last season, Fulham was able to beat Chelsea at home with a score of 2-1 and I think this time Fulham can do it again with a better score of 2-0 or 3-1 considering that Chelsea is very far from being productive. Another fact about Chelsea is that in September they have not recorded a single goal in the EPL competition so we can see that they will again have difficulty winning in the next match against Fulham. So, it is fitting that Fulham will win very convincingly and I still doubt Chelsea if they continue like this in the future.

This is a quite interesting change in their odds indeed. I remember a similar change for Milan against Newcastle in the Champions League. Their odds were increasing and Newcastle even became the favourite side in Italy. I still believed in Milan to win. Maybe they couldn't but their performance was just amazing.

This doesn't mean that I expect another amazing performance this time from Chelsea.    But at least they should be able to win here despite the increase in their odds. Chelsea desperately need this win to start rising in the standings.

Crystal Palace will definitely not use the same strategy as in the EFL. And of course Crystal Palace won't want to be beaten twice in a row. I feel that Crystal Palace will focus more on implementing a defensive strategy in tomorrow's match. And will counterattack when he gets the opportunity.

But my estimate is that Manchester United will probably still win tomorrow's match. It's just that maybe this time the victory was only by a narrow score like 2-1.
