Chelsea vs Fulham (Clint Dempsey) Monday at 2pm on ESPN2

It’s the Champions versus Fulham, a West London derby that should be interesting as Phil Mison, the Fulham correspondent for ESPN notes Belief Will Beat The Blues

Why? At home Fulham’s defence is back to its miserly best. Roy’s fortress has been well and truly restored. The side are going for their 6th straight home win in 2011, with no goal conceded in our last three league home wins. In fact, against WBA, Stoke and Newcastle chances created by the opposition were all but non-existent, while the Cup win over Spurs was a stroll in the park

If your watching the game, take note of our favorite Fulham player. Mark Young from ESPN notes It’s Dempsey Time

Since the 1990s, aspiring young American soccer players have looked to the likes of John Harkes, Claudio Reyna and Brian McBride as their non-goalkeeping role models. Now, it’s Clint Dempsey’s time. And based on his performances with Fulham, it’s time for Bob Bradley to make the fiery Texan the fulcrum around which he builds the U.S. national team.
