Betting Preview: Fulham vs Chelsea: Blues Are Overwhelming Favourites

Chelsea will undoubtedly start as heavy favorites for their West London Derby clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The Blues will travel a short distance across West London to face Fulham who are in danger of suffering relegation from the Premier League in their first season back in the top flight of English football.

Chelsea are in a keenly contested race for the top four spots on the Premier League table with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United and only a win over the Cottagers will suffice in their second league meeting of the season.

• Jose Mourinho will ‘returns’ to management

Fulham manager Scott Parker takes charge of the team for the first time against former club Chelsea after he was appointed the interim manager during the week following the dismissal of Claudio Ranieri.

Italian tactician and former Chelsea manager Ranieri was sacked after just three wins in the Premier League in four months.

Chelsea prepared for the West London Derby with Fulham with a win over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
