Motor-mouth pundit and former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor is predicting an exciting draw after Chelsea prepare to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday evening.

He does not think that Chelsea will be able to get back to winning ways. Instead, he believes that the Cottagers will prove to be stern test for Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues, saying that they ‘don’t sit back and let teams beat them’.

He thinks that the Fulham vs Chelsea will end in a 2-2 draw – however, he did also mention that Chelsea are a difficult team to accurately predict, saying ‘you don’t know what team they’re going to play, what Chelsea are going to turn up’.

The game between Chelsea and Fulham will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Premier League. The match is scheduled to kick off at 8pm GMT, but coverage will begin at 7:30pm.

What did Gabby Agbonlahor say regarding the game on Monday evening?

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Agbonlahor said [via X]: “Well, I don’t know how to call this… Chelsea, you don’t know what team they’re going to play, what Chelsea are going to turn up.

“I’m going to go for a draw. I feel like a 2-2 draw. Chelsea are still a work in progress. Fulham don’t sit back and let teams beat them.”

Can Chelsea end their winless run in the Premier League against Fulham?

While Chelsea appeared to shake a monkey off their back when they defeated Brighton and Hove Albion in the League Cup during their most recent outing, they have still yet to win any of their previous three Premier League games.

Their last win in the league came all the way back in August, when they swept aside a struggling Luton Town outfit by a score of 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Since then, the Blues have been beaten at home by Nottingham Forest, were held to a draw by AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium and lost at Stamford Bridge once again to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League outing.

Fulham are no pushovers. Nevertheless, like with any Marco Silva side, they do have defensive frailties – Chelsea must use their lightning-quick attacking players to exploit the lumbering Tim Ream if they wish to leave this London derby with a win.
