Chelsea make the extremely short trip west on Saturday when the Blues face local rivals Fulham in the Premier League.
After a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa that furthered Chelsea's Premier League woes, a 1-0 win against Brighton and Hove Albion saw the Blues advance to the Carabao Cup fourth round, one competition that has worked in Chelsea's favour so far this season. But, it's back to Premier League action this weekend against Fulham.
Like Chelsea, the Cottagers have struggled for goals this season, scoring just five times in their opening six games. The Blues failed to beat Fulham last season, losing 2-1 at Craven Cottage before a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Injury problems have worsened for Pochettino with Ben Chilwell now set for a spell on the sidelines, leaving the Blues with limited defensive options. Nicolas Jackson and Malo Gusto will also be missing due to suspensions.
Fulham vs Chelsea score predicted by EA FC 24 simulation
We used kick-off mode in EA FC 24, but didn't select a team to control. We then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a score prediction.
We predict that Fulham could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Castagne; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez.
We predict that Chelsea could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Sanchez; Cucurella, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Enzo; Sterling, Gallagher, Mudryk; Palmer.
Fulham started on top, with Chelsea failing to get ahold of the game whilst the hosts caused problems for the Blues' back line. The midfield battle was being won by the hosts, and they managed to take a deserved lead just after half-time through former Chelsea man, Willian.
A poor pass from Moises Caicedo allowed Harrison Reed to intercept and kickstart a Fulham counterattack, with Willian leading the charge down the left. The Brazilian used the run of Raul Jimenez to create space for a shot, and the winger rifled his effort past Robert Sanchez to make it 1-0.
Chelsea had a great chance with 10 minutes to go when substitute Armando Broja slipped through on goal, but one-on-one, the striker fired his shot over the bar as a fantastic opportunity went begging. Pochettino's side couldn't find an equaliser, and the Blues fell to another tough defeat.
