Chelsea saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton. Fulham were also involved in a goalless draw against Southampton, but there is reason to believe we will see more goals on Boxing Day.

Having said that, Chelsea have scored 23 goals away compared to 14 at home. Their overall record on the road is better than it is at Stamford Bridge, so Fulham could have some joy if they set up in a low block and deny Chelsea space between the lines.

The Cottagers will also look to carry a threat going forward. But they have a dismal record in this fixture, having failed to win at the Bridge since 1979.

Tune in to find out who comes out on top, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action thanks to our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
