Ahead of the Boxing Day games, Nigeria’s Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has declared war against their London rival Chelsea.

Fulham will be away to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday with the aim of ending the 45 years Boxing Day games jinx against the Blues.

The Nigerian International admitted that the Blues got talented players but said it will be war.

“Confident team. They have got so many talented players not just the eleven. But the players they can bring on as well can impact the game,” Iwobi told the club’s official website.

“It is another derby. So I am sure, how good you’re is going to be out the window. It is going to be war.”
