Fulham vs Chelsea Preview
Sparkles will be flying when Fulham and Chelsea lock horns in this London derby at Craven Cottage on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. As several high-profile players joined Chelsea in the summer, we predict a 2-0 away win. The Cottagers will be looking to build on a 1-0 victory over Stuttgart in their final warm-up game, although Marco Silva will have to cope without Tom Cairney, who is injured, and Joachim Andersen, who is suspended. Summer signing Gonzalo Garcia is likely to make his Premier League debut, adding another attacking option to the hosts.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have made plenty of eye-catching additions during the summer, with Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, Geovany Quenda, Danny Welbeck, and Jordan Henderson joining the Blues. Marc Cucurella and Andrey Santos have departed, meaning Enzo Maresca has a reshaped squad to work with. Chelsea have won just one of their last three away games, conceding twice in each of them, but they boast a strong record against Fulham, losing only three of their last 28 meetings. The Blues have also kept a clean sheet in 57% of those encounters.
As Chelsea have dominated this fixture, winning 17 of their last 28 meetings, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Over 3.5 cards (local derby) and Under 3.5 goals (Only 3 of the last 28 H2H clashes produced more than three goals).
This Premier League match will be played on Monday, 24 August 2026 at 20:00.
