2024 Premier League Matchweek 21 - Chelsea vs. Fulham: Which team will move up the Premiership table? January 11, 2024 by Marc Jerbs

On Saturday, Chelsea will face Fulham in matchweek 21 of the 2024 Premier League season. Kick-off is set 12:30PM GMT at the Stamford Bridge in London, England.

For manager Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea, this weekend’s game is important as they plan to make ground on teams above them in the Premier League. A win against Fulham could see them jump to as high as seventh place. Lately, Chelsea have struggled to keep the ball out of the net in recent week after they showcases an improved defense in the earlier part of the season. Expect to carry to offensive load are Cole Palmer and the returning Christopher Nkunku.

Fulham has found it difficult to play cohesively and score points away from home. They only have one road win which happened during the opening season game against Everton. Consequently, players Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Fode Ballo-Toure will not play this weekend as they left to fulfill their international duties in the Africa Cup of Nations. Manager Marco Silva has a healthy lineup and he expects the void left by the three players is not a cause of concern.
