Martin Jol's side have had a poor start to the season and our tipster expects Jose Mourinho's men to heap more misery on the Cottagers at Stamford Bridge on Saturday
Chelsea will look to put the disappointment of last weekend’s defeat against Everton and a midweek Champions League loss to Basel behind them on Saturday evening when they entertain Fulham in a west London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinjo’s men are chalked up as warm favourites for this weekend’s clash, with William Hill making them just 2/7 (1.29) to claim all three points against Martin Jol’s side.
The Cottagers have endured a disappointing start to the campaign, having collected just four points from their opening four games and Martin Jol’s men were left bitterly disappointed last weekend as West Bromwich Albion snatched a point at Craven Cottage by virtue of a stoppage-time strike.

Given their poor start to the campaign, it is unsurprising to see the away side chalked up at a chunky 17/2 (9.50)with William Hill to enjoy victory at Stamford Bridge while the same firm go 9/2 (5.50) that the match ends all square.

Fulham forced a goalless draw on their last visit to Stamford Bridge and, should that result be repeated this weekend, William Hill will refund correct score and scorecast bets placed before kick-off on Saturday evening as a free bet.
