Chelsea vs Fulham betting tips: Result and goalscorers prediction

Gameweek 3 in the Premier League kicks off with a West London derby between Chelsea and Fulham in Saturday's early kick-off.

The Blues will come into the game at Stamford Bridge in high spirits after smashing another of their London foes West Ham 5-1 last Friday but Marco Silva's men are likely to present more of a challenge having earned a draw in each of their games against Brighton and Manchester United so far.

Ladbrokes takes you through the latest odds and Bet Builder picks for the Saturday lunch-time clash.

These West London derbies are usually tight encounters, with seven of the last nine being decided by either a single goal or ending in a draw.

While we are backing Chelsea to edge through on home soil, don't expect their victory to be as one-sided as it was in East London a week ago.

Fulham have proved they are a threat by scoring in both games against Brighton and Man Utd and it would be no surprise to see them get on the scoresheet here.

Chelsea were arguably fortunate to keep a clean sheet in their first home game against Crystal Palace after a disallowed Eberechi Eze free-kick and having conceded to a toothless West Ham team, questions remain over their defence.

As was the case in their two meetings last term, we think both goals will be breached.

With doubts over Cole Palmer's fitness after missing the West Ham victory, summer signing Joao Pedro already looks like Chelsea's main source of goals.

The Brazilian has been involved in six goals (four goals, two assists) in his last first four Blues games and will likely be involved again here.

The goalscorer market looks like the best area to cash in on Pedro's form here.

You can bet on all of these selections individually or lump them in together as a three-fold Bet Builder, with the current selection combining for a 10/1 bet at the time of writing.
