Solomon entered, live: Fulham - Chelsea 1:2

English league 22-23

Game board

Being in a very bad period and looking to recover, Chelsea are currently visiting Fulham and Manor Solomon at Craven Cottage, as part of a make-up game from the seventh round in the Premier League.

The Israeli winger returned last week to be included in Marco Silva’s squad, after recovering from his injury. Solomon was first in the squad against Leicester, but did not play and then came off the bench in the 76th minute in a cup match against Hull City. His team, by the way, comes to this game with a streak of four consecutive victories in all formats.

From the one in a good period to the one in a bad one. The Blues are in a bad streak for them, when they lost twice in three days to Manchester City, 1:0 in the league and a painful 4:0 defeat in the cup, when even before that they recorded a draw against Nottingham Forest. Graham Potter is starting to feel the pressure from the fans and will hope to give some relief to the crowd and the management with three important points.

The two teams have not met since 2021, when Chelsea won 0:2 with a brace from Kai Hubertz, and almost ensured Fulham’s relegation that season. The white-blacks will be happy for some kind of revenge in the game now.
