There will be fireworks when Chelsea and Fulham face each other on Boxing Day in a highly-anticipated local derby. The Blues aim to return to winning ways after dropping two points in a goalless draw with Everton and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Cottagers in the London derby. Noni Madueke is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while left-back Marc Cucurella is back from suspension. 

Marco Silva’s men, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Southampton at the weekend. As Fulham failed to impress in the clash with the relegation strugglers, we are tempted to put our money on Chelsea, who aim to stay in the title race. In their last meeting at Stamford Bridge Chelsea defeated Fulham 1-0, with Cole Palmer scoring the only goal of the match. Midfielder Andreas Pereira is back from suspension, while all Reiss Nelson, Harrison Reed, and Kenny Tete remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side.

Score Prediction: Chelasea 2-1 Fulham
