THE PREDICTION
Fulham boss Scott Parker has made clear his displeasure at being forced to play Tottenham this past Wednesday night at such short, just three days before another big London derby match here against Chelsea. Whilst Fulham are fresh off their draining battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Chelsea have been in action just once since a very disappointing 1-3 defeat at home to Man City back on January 3rd. That was an FA Cup third round tie at home to League Two side Morecambe last weekend, in which the Blues secured a morale boasting 4-0 victory. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is starting to come under some pressure following recent results in the Premier League and his team will be expected to pick up three points at Craven Cottage. With a strong squad to choose from attacking wise, combined with the extra rest they have been afforded compared to the hosts and any result other than a Chelsea win would be considered a big surprise.
