Alex Iwobi sends warning to Chelsea ahead of Boxing Day clash

Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has issued a strong warning to Chelsea as the two London rivals prepare to face each other on Boxing Day at Stamford Bridge.

Fulham will aim to end a 45-year winless run against Chelsea in Boxing Day matches, and Iwobi is determined to help his team achieve that.

Speaking about the game, Iwobi acknowledged Chelsea’s strength but insisted it would be a fierce battle.

“They are a confident team with so many talented players, not just the starting eleven but also those on the bench who can make an impact,” Iwobi told Fulham’s official website.

“It’s another derby, so form doesn’t matter. It’s going to be war.”

Iwobi has been in fine form this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists. He will hope to play a key role in helping Fulham secure a memorable victory over their London rivals.
