Why we called it
Xabi Alonso's Chelsea won 3-2 at Fulham with João Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Palmer all scoring, though Wesley Fofana's suspension keeps the back line makeshift alongside absences for Henderson and Emegha. Brighton were superb in a 4-0 rout of Aston Villa, Hinshelwood scoring twice, but travel without Minteh, Ferguson, Tzimas and Baleba with Mitoma doubtful. Two open, front-foot teams points to goals at both ends. Home advantage swings it narrowly to Chelsea.
