Chelsea look to build on their first win of the season as they host Fulham in a West London derby under the lights.
12:30 Saturday
Chelsea welcome their West London neighbours, Fulham, to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction
- Chelsea showed what they’re capable of with a dominant win over West Ham last Friday, finally getting their first three points of the season.
- Historically, they’ve had the upper hand in this fixture, losing just three times to Fulham in the Premier League, though one of those defeats came at Stamford Bridge last December.
- Fulham haven’t quite clicked yet this season, but draws against Brighton and Manchester United have given Marco Silva’s side a platform to build on. Only once since 2010 have the Cottagers gone unbeaten in their first three Premier League games.
Score Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Fulham

João Pedro Anytime Goalscorer
Pedro has looked sharp and is expected to lead Chelsea’s attack. He got off the mark in the Premier League in his last game and will be keen to build on that. He had an xG 0f 0.28 against Palace and 0.41 against West Ham. -
Chelsea to Win
They're in good form, with 5 wins and 1 draw in their last 6 matches across all competitions, including a strong 5-1 win in their most recent Premier League game. Fulham were resiliant against Man United and did well to get a draw, but United's attack lacked a finishing touch that they won't see against a sharp Chelsea attack. Chelsea have won their last four home games against Fulham. -
Sasa Lukic to be Carded
Chelsea's midfield draw plenty of fouls. Caicedo averaged 1.63 fouls won per 90 last season and Enzo Fernandez 1.64. Sasa Lukic is not why to make a rash challenge and has already racked up seven fouls in just two Premier League games this season.
