Chelsea vs Fulham: Five Key Battles

Darren Bent vs John Terry

John Terry of Chelsea

Bent is the type of striker who relies a lot on the service provided to him to get his goals, meaning he has one obvious weakness: he can be out-marked quite easily. John Terry didn’t start in midweek against Basel and so should start this one. If he does, he will be handed the task of making sure that Bent isn’t able to get into goal-scoring positions.

Given that the Chelsea captain was able to keep Robin van Persie in check without breaking a sweat, he shouldn’t find it too tough to keep Bent quiet. But one can never quite be sure.
