What do we have here then? A west London derby in which Fulham are the pre-eminent team in SW6, that’s what. They begin tonight’s game in seventh, three places and three points ahead of Chelsea, who are in danger of winning the transfer window and losing everything else. The last time Fulham started a league game against Chelsea in a higher position was 2 April 1983*, a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage in the old Division Two.

All the pre-match talk has been, a little tediously, about whether Graham Potter should be sacked for his inability to build Rome in half an hour. Marco Silva knows all about P45s, having been sacked by Sporting Lisbon, Watford and Everton, but there was always a lot to like about his management and he has quietly done a spectacular job at Craven Cottage.

Fulham won the Championship in his first season, scoring 106 goals in the process, and have held their own against allcomers in the Premier League. Their late defeats at Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United were all unfortunate, and the only time they took a pasting was when they had 10 men for most of a 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle. They have won all four games since Qatar, whereas Chelsea have lost seven of the last nine and are without almost an entire team of senior players.

I was going to say that, even without the suspended Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fulham will be provide a stiff test for Chelsea. But given the league positions and recent form, we should probably be assessing that the other way round.

Let’s put that aside Graham Potter He sure knew what he was getting into, and he said it was measure Chelsea “The hardest job in football is the great job,” says Matt Bertz. “Succeed, and you will automatically become the best manager in the world. Fail, and you are expected to because it is impossible to succeed. It is a win!”
I did not like this comment. Potter is usually friendly and considerate, and while that hasn’t really changed, there have been some little signs pointing him out. I felt strongly at the time that he should wait for Arsenal or Tottenham rather than go to Chelsea, because there are too many risks with that club and it will likely be his only big job unless he succeeds.
Potter may have had assurances from Todd Pohle, but that’s only part of the story – as we’re seeing it now, the media and fanbase conditioned to instant gratification can make life very uncomfortable. I really hope it works but I’m losing faith.
I like you article, thank you very much
“We’re probably lucky that QPR are not in the PLor Chelsea He could be fourth in the West London league,” says Julian Means. “As for teams: are you sure it’s Azpilicueta and not Chalobah at right-back?”
I’m never sure of anything, least of all the Graham Potter formation, but that’s how I expect them to line up. This graphic backs up that idea, although I’ve noticed that some clubs have started spreading tactical misinformation on their team’s graphics. What will the world come to.

Lying in a hospital room in southwestern France with MBM to keep me healthy,” says one of our residents Fulham Richard Hirst fan. “I was hoping to get three points to motivate further improvement, but without Mitro I’m afraid, and now I’m going to bite your hand for an unmotivated 0-0. However, I’m sure I can count on Dr. Rob for sympathetic company.”
Oops, sorry to hear that. Are you well?
Whether that is fair or not (Not so), Graham Potter is under increasing external pressure at Chelsea. If they lose tonight, the noise may become unbearable.

Preamble
So what do we have here? Derby west london in it Fulham They are the standout team in SW6, that’s what. They start tonight’s game in seventh place, three places and three points ahead of Chelsea, who are in danger of winning the transfer window and losing everything else. The last time Fulham started a league match against Chelsea in a higher position It was April 2, 1983 *, Drawn 1-1 at Craven Cottage In the old second section.
All the talk before the game was, a little tediously, about whether Graham Potter should be sacked for not being able to build Roma up in half an hour. Marco Silva knows all about the P45s, having been sacked by Sporting Lisbon, Watford and Everton, but there has always been a lot to like about his management and he has quietly done a fantastic job at Craven Cottage.
Fulham won the Championship in his first season, kicking 106 goals in the process, and withstood all comers in Premier League. Their late defeats at Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United were all unfortunate, and the only time they pasted was when they had 10 men for most of the 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle. They have won all four matches since Qatar, while Chelsea have lost seven of their last nine and are still without an almost full squad of senior players.
I would have said that even without the suspended Aleksandar Mitrović, Fulham would provide a stern test for Chelsea. But given league positions and recent form, we should probably rate it the other way around.
Starting 8 p.m.
* I suspect. Look, I checked it once and maybe I got it wrong but I don’t have time to go back over 40 years of league tables again, okay. This is your code of honor, not a judicial review!
