Monday's English Premier League action comes from Craven Cottage where Fulham clash with Chelsea in a West London derby

 

 

 

Fulham

 

Fulham are just below half way in the standings with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats against their name. The wins came against sides at the wrong end of the table, at Everton on the opening weekend and more recently at home to Luton and the scoreline was 1-0 on each occasion. Other London derby matches saw Fulham lose 3-0 at home to Brentford, draw 2-2 at Arsenal and 0-0 away to Palace.

 

 

Chelsea

 

Chelsea have just 5 points to show from their first 6 matches. Their only win came at home to Luton (3-0) whilst their 2 road trips saw them beaten 3-1 at West Ham and they drew 0-0 at Bournemouth. Chelsea have also lost at home to Forest and Villa (both 1-0)

 

Recent Head to Head

 

Fulham won this fixture 2-1 last season whilst the return at Stamford Bridge finished without a goal.

 

 

The Betting

 

At the time of writing Fulham are trading at 27/10 to win the game with the draw priced at 5/2 and Chelsea can be backed at even money

 

A game of 3 goals or more is priced at 17/20 and it's 8/11 for both teams to score

 

The Verdict:

 

Both these sides have scored just 5 league goals this season so on form it should be a tight game. Chelsea look a little short in the betting although an EFL cup win at home to Brighton last week should have boosted confidence.

 

It looks a tricky betting heat to me but I'll have an interest in the game to be won by 1 goal exactly

 

Bets: Match to be won by 1 goal exactly at 13/10 with Sportingbet

 

 

Note, odds are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change
