Fulham prepare to entertain Chelsea at Craven Cottage at lunchtime on Tuesday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 7 of the 32 games played, and losing 19.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in September 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premiership match.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Cottagers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Blues come away with an easy victory. Away win
