Struggling to find any kind of consistency, the Blues are occupying an unusual tenth spot, having managed just 25 points from 17 matches.
Fulham have a difficult challenge against Chelsea in their upcoming Premier League match on Thursday night. Traditionally, the Blues are expected to get the three points from this fixture. However, form is not on their side. As things stand, Fulham are placed above Chelsea in the league standings, something not many anticipated at this point of the season. The poor run of results undoubtedly adds extra pressure on the shoulders of Graham Potter, thereby he will be eager to mount a winning run.
