Ben Foster thinks Chelsea will drop more points when they travel to Fulham on Monday night.
It’s been a very frustrating start to the season for Chelsea, collecting just five points from their opening six Premier League games.
The Blues have actually won two games in the Carabao Cup so far this campaign compared to only one in the league.
Meanwhile, Marco Silva’s Fulham have made another steady start in the league, so sit three points above their upcoming opponents.
Speaking on the That’s Football YouTube channel, Ben Foster said Aston Villa were “comfy” in their 1-0 win over Chelsea last weekend.
He’s now thinking Mauricio Pochettino’s side will come unstuck in their next league match, this time away to Fulham.
When predicting Fulham vs Chelsea, Foster said: “I will go for a draw.”
Incidentally, it finished as a draw during the previous meeting between the clubs last season.
We’re very intrigued to see if Chelsea can take any momentum from their midweek cup win against Brighton into the London derby against neighbours Fulham.
In our view, there’s some players against Brighton that should have played themselves into the XI for the next league match. For example, Cole Palmer.
Pochettino admitted in his pre-match press conference for Fulham that he’s thinking about starting Palmer on Monday evening at Craven Cottage, as quoted by Football.London.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder can be the creative spark going forward for a team desperately lacking in goals.
In addition, players such as Ian Maatsen and Marc Cucurella put together good cases against Brighton to put them in contention for the Fulham clash.
