Chelsea is priced as the favorites to win against Fulham. The Blues made a lot of additions in the January transfer window and they are expected to hit the ground running with victories. Chelsea is playing at home which is a plus for them and they should easily get all three points against Fulham.

Fulham travels to the Stamford Bridge on Friday where they face Chelsea in the 22nd round of games in the English Premier League.

Chelsea find themselves just in the top half of the table after twenty games. A top four finish for Chelsea is still very much possible and with the title out of their sights, they would be looking to get all the points they need. The Blues can move into the top six if they manage to win on Friday night and with the new signings, they should get the job done.

Graham Potter's Chelsea was very close to a win against Liverpool last time in the premier league and saw their opener ruled out for an offside. Chelsea dominated Liverpool but poor finishing coated them all three points. The Blues are unbeaten in their last two games and their last game at the Stamford Bridge was a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Chelsea's home record against teams outside the top four has not been bad. They have won more than half of their home games, losing just twice. The Blues went from four consecutive games without a clean sheet to keeping clean sheets in their last two games, this is a bug improvement in their defensive record.

Fulham's 1-1 draw against Sunderland makes it three games without a win for the visitors. They had lost two consecutive games prior to their FA Cup tie, with premier league defeats to Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Fulham has conceded four goals in their last four appearances, scoring just two goals in that period.

Fulham has lost on their last three visits to the Stamford Bridge by a scoreline on 2-0. They have just one win in fourteen games against Chelsea and with the Blues picking up points ahead of this game, the best bet would be a home win.

切尔西被认为最有可能战胜富勒姆。蓝军在一月份的转会窗口中引进了很多球员，他们被期待着能够取得胜利。切尔西将在主场比赛，这对他们来说是一个优势，他们应该很容易在对阵富勒姆的比赛中得到三分。

富勒姆将于周五前往斯坦福桥，在那里他们将在英超联赛第22轮比赛中对阵切尔西。

切尔西在20场比赛后发现自己只排在积分榜的上半区。对于切尔西来说，进入前四名仍然是很有可能的，冠军已经不在他们的视线之内，他们希望得到他们需要的所有积分。如果蓝军能在周五晚上赢下比赛，他们就能进入前六，有了新援，他们应该能完成任务。

格雷厄姆·波特的切尔西上次在英超联赛中差点就赢了利物浦，但他们的首场比赛因为越位被判无效。切尔西控制了利物浦，但糟糕的表现让他们全取了三分。蓝军最近两场比赛保持不败，他们在斯坦福桥的最后一场比赛是1-0战胜水晶宫。

切尔西在主场对阵前四名以外球队的战绩还不错。他们赢了一半以上的主场比赛，只输了两次。蓝军从连续四场零封到最近两场零封，这是他们防守记录的一个漏洞。

富勒姆1-1战平桑德兰后，客队已经连续三场比赛未胜。在足总杯比赛之前，他们已经连续输掉了两场比赛，在英超联赛中分别输给了纽卡斯尔联队和托特纳姆热刺。富勒姆在最近4次出场中丢了4球，在此期间只进了2球。

富勒姆最近三次造访斯坦福桥都以2:0的比分输掉了比赛。他们在对切尔西的14场比赛中只赢了一场，随着蓝军在本场比赛前拿分，最好的选择是主场取胜。
