Chelsea will look to return to winning ways on Boxing Day when they welcome Fulham to Stamford Bridge. The Blues’ eight-game winning streak ended over the weekend with a goalless draw at Everton as the gap at the top of the Premier League widened.
Enzo Maresca’s men are now four points behind Liverpool after 17 games although Arne Slot’s men have a game in hand. Before the turn of the year, Chelsea take on Fulham and Ipswich Town with the possibility of keeping the heat on the league leaders. We said many times that we are ahead of our expectations,” Maresca said. “The way we are playing, in terms of points, but the main focus for us is always how we can improve the players and improve game by game.”
