Former Chelsea star, Joe Cole has predicted the Premier League clash between the Blues and Fulham.
Cole also tipped Joao Pedro to score or provide an assist during the encounter.
Chelsea will host Fulham in the Premier League in an early kick-off at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
Enzo Maresca’s side head to the game after beating West Ham United 5-1 in their last match, while Fulham played a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Providing his prediction, Cole backed Chelsea to beat the visitors in front of their home fans.
“Fulham are unbeaten in six and they have started with two draws but I still strongly fancy Chelsea to win this,” Cole was quoted as saying by Paddy Power.
“I mentioned him [Palmer] before but Pedro’s just slotted right in and, with Palmer maybe out, he will need to play well so I fancy him to score or get an assist.”
