Chelsea vs Fulham

A struggling Chelsea but on a shopping spree in the last closed transfer window face Fulham in the Premier League.

Chelsea have done it all to rebuild their team in terms of personnel but now it is on Graham Potter to deliver the goods and is expected that good times will be returning to Stamford Bridge soon.
