Goals could be at a premium

CHELSEA v FULHAM Friday 8pm, Sky Sports

Chelsea have stuttered under new manager Graham Potter while neighbours Fulham have made a strong impression since gaining promotion and are two points ahead of them in the standings.

Chelsea fans will hope extensive spending will bring a change of fortunes, but goal opportunities have been thin on the ground.

In their last eight outings, the only game Chelsea have been involved in that has featured more than two goals was their 2-1 defeat at Fulham on January 21, when they had to play the final 30 minutes with ten men.

Fulham played well against Tottenham when they were downed by an inspired moment by Harry Kane, but they did not trouble the Spurs goal too much and, if anything, this Chelsea defence could be more difficult to breach.
