Fulham V Chelsea
Chelsea face a major western London derby on Sunday as they aim to end a disappointed week at the highest level and raise their hopes for the Champions League qualifiers by winning their neighbors Fulham.
Although the Blues advanced to the Europa Conference semi-finals, a 2-1 defeat to Legia Warsaw in the second leg led Inzu Maresca to the squad by Stamford Bridge.
More concerned with Chelsea’s position in the hot competition for the Champions League.
Chelsea are sixth and just a point behind Manchester City, and five key players in the Premier League in the Champions League.
However, Mareska’s players have allowed the points to slip in each of the last two games, after a draw 0-0 in Brentford 2-2 at home to Toyon Ipsweich, Chelsea had to drop from 2-0 to ask for a stake.
Their performances in the games are extremely worried as Chelsea are now facing a tough game in the last six games, starting with a test trip to the Craven Cottge.
Fulham is hunting his Europeans while looking for the highest level of the Premier League in their history.
Marco Silva’s men are just six points behind Chelsea and are still able to have at least thin hope for the Champions League.
Fulham was a consensus after an impressive investigation into Liverpool’s selected champions to defeat Bournemouth.
But, with his victory at home over Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham with Liverpool’s defeat and drawing 1-1 with Arsenal in Craven Cotaj in their record this season, Fulham will have no fear of Chelsea hosting Chelsea in the Premier League derby.
