Fulham can close the gap to three points on Chelsea with a win when the sides meet at Craven Cottage in the Premier League today.

Fulham were behind less than a minute into Monday night’s match at Bournemouth and never managed to recover, falling to their third defeat in four matches across all competitions.

The result was a blow to Marco Silva’s hopes of securing eighth place in the Premier League, which could be enough for European qualification depending on how things unfold elsewhere. Fulham sit ninth, level on 48 points with Bournemouth and Brighton, separated only by goal difference.

They claimed a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture on Boxing Day, which marked their first ever win at Stamford Bridge since 1979. Fulham have only managed one win at the ground since 2006, across twelve meetings.

Chelsea’s perfect run in the UEFA Conference League came to an end on Thursday with a 2-1 loss to Legia Warsaw. The Blues were firm favourites going into the match but had done enough in the first leg to book a place in the semi-finals, where they will meet Swedish side Djurgarden.

The Conference League is viewed as a competition Chelsea should be winning, and their progress so far has not been enough to ease the scrutiny on Enzo Maresca. Questions continue to be asked by the fanbase, particularly due to the club’s struggles in the league.

Last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town, where Chelsea had to claw their way back from two goals down, summed up a stuttering domestic campaign. The result pushed them out of the top five, with their hopes of Champions League qualification starting to fade.
