Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Mbabu; Reed, Palhinha; Decordova-Reid, Pereira, James; Mitrovic

Fulham welcome Chelsea to Craven Cottage in the West London derby on Saturday. Both teams suffered defeats in their last matches - Fulham went down 2:1 to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, while Chelsea lost 1:0 to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Blues manager Thomas Tuchel paid the prize for the defeat as he was sacked. Fulham will try to take advantage of the opponent's crisis. The Cottagers are in the middle of the table with eight points. They have a balanced record of two victories, two draws and two defeats, with a 9:9 goal difference. Most of the points are collect at home. After beating Brentford and Brighton, Fulham could now win three Premier League games in a row at Craven Cottage for the first time in a decade. Nevertheless, Chelsea are tough opponents. Silva has some injury issues as left-back Antonee Robinson suffered an ankle injury in the first half of their match with Tottenham. Strikers Harry Wilson and Manor Solomon remain out, both due to knee injuries. Carlos Vinicius, Willian and Daniel James are pushing for a place in the starting eleven.

Chelsea occupy the sixth place the table with 10 points. The Blues are inconsistent so far, they managed to obtain three victories, shared the points against Tottenham, while suffered defeats on the remaining two occasion. Thomas Tuchel was doing a great job, he lead the team to the Champions League glory two years ago, but now paid the prize for inconsistent results. The German coach left the club a day after the Blues suffered a shock defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League fixture. He guided Chelsea to a third-placed finish in the Premier League last season despite the departure of Russian owner Roman Abramovich and the sale of the club to an American consortium led by Todd Boehly. According to the news, the actual Brighton manager Graham Potter succeed Tuchel. Chelsea have agreed to pay Brighton a release clause to allow them to take the highly-rated English manager to London. For this match Potter will be without N'Golo Kante, who is struggling with a thigh injury. It remains to be seen if Potter will decide to start with Edouard Mendy and Marc Cucurella, after they both were benched in Zagreb. New signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a poor debut on Tuesday, but may start again here.

Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction:

I expect both teams to score at Craven Cottage. Fulham are excellent at home, they have scored at least two goals in each of their three home games. I think they are able to continue that way against unstable Chelsea. The Blues are out of form and without Tuchel, but I believe they have good strikers.

Fulham vs Chelsea Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 1.80 with Pinnacle

Liveropool vs Wolverhampton Preview:

Liverpool welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield in Saturday's Premier League contest. The Reds were embarrassed 4:1 by Napoli in midweek, while the Wanderers needed just the one goal to beat Southampton last weekend. This match is extremely important for Jurgen Klopp. He is under huge pressure, even his position is safe. He has an "iconic" status at Anfield after won all trophies - Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, League Cup and FA Community Shield. However, the poor start of the season complicate the matters. Pundits and journalists alike are all providing their own theories for Liverpool's crisis - Sadio Mane departure, the lack of motivation, the injury situation, poor form of the key player Mohamed Salah etc. However, the numbers are bad, just two victories in the first six league matches. Klopp has some additional issues as lot of players remain injured - Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones, Ibrahima Konate, Jordan Henderson and Calvin Ramsay will all miss the match, while Fabio Carvalho and second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher are both rated as doubtful.

Wolverhampton are in solid form. The Wanderers are unbeaten on the last three matches in the Premier League and the players confidence is higher. Last weekend they beat Southampton 1:0. Daniel Podence's close-range finish earned Wolves their first league victory of the season. The Wanderers created the better chances prior to Podence's opener but it was a familiar story in front of goal - Rayan Ait-Nouri and Pedro Neto had problem to find the back of the net. Six points from as many games is not what the fans were expecting. It is clear what is the problem - Wolves have scored only three goals for 540 minutes of top-flight football so far this season. Together with West Ham United, they have the worst attack in the Premier League. That was the reason why Lage brought Sasa Kalajdzic. However, the Austrian international suffered a severe knee injury in the finish of the first half. He managed to complete just eight first-half touches. Lage will miss Kalajdzic for several months as he is now beginning his long road to recovery. Chiquinho is also sidelined, while Raul Jimenez is doubtful after pulled up with a groin problem in the warm-up before the match with Southampton last weekend. New signing Boubacar Traore is still waiting for documents.

Liveropool vs Wolverhampton Prediction:

Liverpool are in deep crisis, maybe the biggest one under Klopp. What is worse, the German coach has limited options in the midfield. Thiago has just recovered, while Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and captain Jordan Henderson remain sidelined. Wolverhampton are unbeaten on the last three matches and I think they will produce lot of problems to Liverpool. Wolves won't lose high.

Liveropool vs Wolverhampton Pick: Wolverhampton +1.5 AH @2.06 with Pinnacle
