Fulham vs. Chelsea Betting Tips: Willian the focus of these two best bets

This weekend's Premier League action concludes at Craven Cottage where Fulham host Chelsea in the West London derby. Jimmy The Punt has delivered us match preview, which centres around two tips.
The visitor's turmoil shows no sign of letting up. Todd Boehly broke the £1b spend barrier in the summer transfer window and what does he have to show for his investment? Well, not a lot.
In fact, this calendar year, excluding promoted and relegated sides, no top flight team has taken fewer points than Chelsea (25), a tally which puts them on par with Everton.
I am not so sure the Blues are as bad as the results suggest this campaign though.
They have conceded the third fewest goals per game and are massively underperforming their xG totals, averaging 0.80 goals per match from an xG of 1.93.
Data that suggests that their fortunes could change.
As far as team news is concerned, Nicolas Jackson picked up his fifth card of the season, all of which have been for dissent. It means the frontman will be suspended for this fixture and should be replaced by Armando Broja.
Jackson makes up a list of 11 players unavailable for this fixture, Ben Chilwell picked up a knock in the Cup and Malo Gusto is also suspended.
Adama Traore is unavailable for the hosts. With Tete back fit, he should return at right back moving Timothy Castagne back over to left back.
Fulham vs Chelsea Tips
Willian has started the last three games for the Cottagers and registered seven attempts, covering this line of two in each of those appearances against Norwich (League Cup), Crystal Palace and Luton.
Last season, the veteran winger found the net five times and averaged 1.74 shots per 90 covering this line in 12 starts, which includes the side's last league meeting at Craven Cottage.
Chelsea have shipped an average of 11.8 shots per game, 18% of those have come from the right hand side which is the wing Willian is expected to start on.
Sticking along similar lines, I also like Willian’s price to score anytime. Last season, he boasted a goals per 90 average of 0.21 and based on that the 6/1 is too large.
He has racked up an xG of 0.30 this campaign as he begins to hit his stride and there is also the added bit of narrative of facing a former employer.
Best of luck if you are backing any of these selections and please remember to gamble responsibly.
