| On the island, the upcoming Premier League round goes promises to has exciting encounters. The local London derby is on the program. Chelsea are in the role of favorites in this one. On the other side, at home Fulham will try to win some points, which will help them to stay out from the relegation zone. As a newcomer, this year Fulham's only concern is to keep their place among the big fishes. The gap to the saving shore is two points. Since they've only played 16 games, while some of the competition is usually having 17 or even 18 games behind their backs, Fulham has really good chance. They managed to win only twice this season but after all there were six draws. Speaking of ties, you will immediately notice them. Five games - five draws. Some of them with teams like Tottenham, Southampton and Liverpool. Chelsea were unable to maintain the strong level from the start of the season. The Blues from London remained unbeaten for nine games, and this series finished at the beginning of December. Since then, things haven't really worked out anymore. They won only one of the last six games. It's hard to believe that there was only one defeat in the first eleven encounters. They've conceded seven goals in the last three matches as naturally this also affected to their position in the table, with Chelsea slipping to 9th place. |
