Chelsea vs Fulham

Previewing Chelsea vs Fulham in the Premier League, with TV & live stream details, team news, predicted lineups & score prediction.

Hakim Ziyech may be left out after the comical collapse of his loan to PSG, and Joao Felix is still suspended. Jorginho left for Arsenal on Deadline Day, but there is some optimism that Mateo Kovacic could be fit enough to start. - Fulham: WWLLD

The west London rivals meet again, just three weeks after a famous derby win for the Cottagers, and Enzo Fernandez could make his debut.

- but I fancy the Blues to have the edge in front of a no doubt giddy home crowd. Joao Felix is still suspended, serving the third of his three-match ban for his sending off against Fulham last month. Chelsea vs Fulham prediction

On the heels of a sensational end to the January transfer window, Chelsea refocus their attention on local west London rivals Fulham in a home match with ...

Whether or not Fulham actually win the match is in question, but there should be goals in this for the Whites after the break. However, they've conceded seven after the break at home, and Fulham are fourth in the league with 20 second half goals on the year. Chelsea are the only Premier League club not to have conceded a first half goal at home, which is truly wild when you think about it. Chelsea have all kinds of issues with injuries to their best defensive personnel, and while Fulham have rising talent at the full-back position, their centre-back partnership is anchored by a renaissance for 35-year-old Tim Ream. Chelsea are certainly buoyed by their sensational transfer window, but it's a bit too early for many of the players to be a factor. Chelsea aren't a great team right now, so it tracks that the visitors could get a result, but a point would be enough for them to go home happy. Meanwhile, Chelsea rank fourth in differential, conceding 21 goals on 28.86 xG this season. The Blues are heavy favorites at home in this match despite the result that left Fulham with all three points just a few short weeks ago. New Deadline Day arrivals Sasa Lukic and Cedric are meant to serve squad roles and are unlikely to start in this match. Interestingly, it seems tough for bookmakers to figure out whether goals will come in this match. It's been a fantastic season for the newly promoted club already, and they now have a shot at making history, having never done the league double over their west London rivals. It's unclear whether new signings like Enzo Fernandez will be ready to take the field in this match, but either way, the good feelings are back at Stamford Bridge, at least temporarily as fans look into a seemingly bright future.

A struggling Chelsea but on a shopping spree in the last closed transfer window face Fulham in the Premier League.

Chelsea have done it all to rebuild their team in terms of personnel but now it is on Graham Potter to deliver the goods and is expected that good times will be returning to Stamford Bridge soon. He’s often ball-facing as a way of facilitating safe circulation but has the balance, change of direction and quality to cushion the ball in a way that sets it toward the goal perfectly. With this the 38th different campaign in which they have met. Sitting at 7th in the table with 31 points on board, Marco Silva’s men will be pushing for a European finish by the end of the campaign. While the spoils were shared between Liverpool and Chelsea in what happened to be a lack-lustre game. In what has been a woeful season for the Blues domestically, they are still left stranded at 10th in the table with just 29 points on board.

Predicting the Chelsea lineup to face Fulham in the Premier League.

AM: Mykhailo Mudryk - His firecracker of a performance against Liverpool has fans desperate to see what Mudryk can do from the start. Great news for a team in transition. AM: Mason Mount - Chelsea fans will hope that the new arrivals will spark Mount back into life, with Noni Madueke ready to take his place off the bench if the England international continues to struggle.

All the information you need for tomorrow's Premier League clash between Chelsea and Fulham at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues and the Whites have been handed the task of beginning the weekend's Premier League programme and we build up to the big game here…

[Hakim Ziyech](/en/teams/profile/hakim-ziyech), whose proposed switch to PSG fell through, trained yesterday and has committed to the club. One or two incoming players might fancy the gig too: Enzo Fernandez converted all five he took at previous club River Plate (2021/22), though Joao Mario had penalty responsibility at Benfica this season. The departure of Jorginho, who across all competitions, with his famous skip, scored 27 of the 31 attempts on penalty duty for Chelsea (excluding shoot-outs), means the Blues need a new 12-yard maestro. [Graham Potter](/en/teams/profile/graham-potter)). Fulham added transfer depth on deadline day, recruiting midfielder Sasa Lukic from Torino and (having coached him at Sporting) Arsenal right-back Cedric Soares on loan. They have lost their last two top-flight tussles, however, and the world champions can rise to sixth (at least temporarily) with a win tonight, leapfrogging our postcode rivals having played one game fewer.

It feels like the start of a brand new season, even if quite clearly it's far from one. We're still in midtable, still a fair distance from even getting ...

Not exactly an awe-inspiring run, though both of those teams are above us in the table and Cup games can always surprise. Three of the six have already made their debuts (Badiashile, still-suspended João Félix, and Mudryk) but now that squads are settled for the rest of the season, the others available shouldn’t be too far behind either. Of course, now it’s up to the players (new and old) and the coaches (will Potter be Boehly’s Ranieri or Mourinho when all’s said and done?) to get the results we expect — and those expectations will have only increased. Time to make waves on the pitch, not just off of it. Add in the fact that all of football are moaning about us once again — already got one rule change out of UEFA! It feels like the start of a brand new season, even if quite clearly it’s far from one.

Chelsea host Fulham in the Premier League on Friday night, so we simulated the game to predict the final score.

FIFA 23 predicts that Chelsea could pass a tough test against their west London rivals, with the Blues coming from a goal behind to win 2-1. A nice one-two with Loftus-Cheek saw the midfielder break past the visitors' middle line and press towards goal, with plenty of options in support. It was a much better second half from Chelsea, with Fernandez pulling the strings in midfield as his early error failed to impact his performance. A switch of play from Loftus-Cheek saw Reece James roar down the right, and after skipping past Antonee Robinson, the defender fizzed the ball into the path of Havertz. As Fulham pressed high, Paulinha caught Fernandez in possession deep in the Chelsea half, with the loose ball running through to Andreas Pereira. Graham Potter has been handed a major boost ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge, with Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all set to return to the squad.

Chelsea will hope to exact revenge on local rivals Fulham, hosting the Whites at Stamford Bridge in Premier League play just weeks after suffering a ...

The Blues are heavy favorites at home in this match despite the result that left Fulham with all three points just a few short weeks ago. The biggest boost for Fulham comes in the form of their striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. Interestingly, it seems tough for bookmakers to figure out whether goals will come in this match. Lukic could eventually supplant starting midfielder Harrison Reed in the long term, but it's far too soon for him to jump straight in. It seems that bettors are unsure whether Fulham can find the back of the net here, despite the ever-present danger of Mitrovic, who will be available for this match. Jorginho is no longer with the club after completing a Deadline Day move to Arsenal. It's unclear if any could make their return for this match, but there are rumblings that James or Sterling could feature in some capacity, while the others likely need a little more time. The injections to the Chelsea squad will ease some of the concerns around the injury crisis that remains in the Blues dressing room, with a host of players on the mend but still with recovery to go. They are within reach, as Chelsea would jump the Whites with victory at home, currently 10th but just two points back of their opponents in this fixture. These channels are available to stream via The rest of Chelsea's injured players, including Raheem Sterling, Reece James, Edouard Mendy, Wesley Fofana and Denis Zakaria are all close to a return. Yet things have changed for both sides since that matchup last month.

Chelsea vs Fulham – Chelsea gear up for this game after drawing 0-0 with Liverpool in the Premier League. They had 52% of the possession.

In that game, Fulham had 48% of the possession and three of their eight shots on goal were successful. In that game, Fulham had 69% of the possession and 12 of their 22 shots on goal were on target. The total average of goals scored each game over that period was a pitiful 1.67, with The Cottagers scoring an average of 1. Fewer than three goals have been scored between Fulham and the opposition in five of their last six games. These are the most competitive market prices available at the moment. Tom Cairney scored for Fulham in the 61st second. Over the course of their last six games, they have only scored three goals against other clubs. That equals 2.5 goals per game on average.

Chelsea will be optimistic as they host Fulham for a Premier League action on Friday night as both Reece James and Ben Chilwell are back from injury.

Fulham have lost their past two league games, without playing that badly, and with a settled team they should definitely play the more fluid football. Fulham will assess the fitness of deadline day signings Sasa Lukic and Cedric Soares. The Blues with a record-breaking January transfer of over £300 million might also bank on their new signings including Argentina’s World Cup-winning midfielder Enzo Fernandez on deadline day.

Chelsea news: The Blues return to action after two weeks out with a London derby against neighbours Fulham.

But maybe this is the moment Potter's luck turns and he gets a break for the first time at Stamford Bridge. Some of the players on their way out will dig their heels in and want to be paid. All of this makes it very difficult to make a prediction. The ex-Blues striker said: "These two sides met a few weeks ago, when new Chelsea signing Joao Felix was sent off on his debut and Fulham won 2-1. Add in the return to the squad for Reece James and Ben Chilwell, "Don't ask me to name the Chelsea team in the Premier League this weekend. "It's all right to go bang-wallop-crash in the transfer market when you're beating the rules and not breaking them. Well, who knows how Chelsea will line up on Friday with all their new signings - including Enzo Fernandez, the £107million man." I expect Chelsea to win this game." Results worsened, the bad run extended with the promise of more dark times before the light returned to Stamford Bridge. It only took 31 days to change a lot of that. Potter was a different choice thrust upon them and the relationship never truly kicked off.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter's squad for his side's Premier League tie with Fulham on Friday night has been revealed. According to Football London,

Chelsea manager Graham Potter’s squad for his side’s Premier League tie with Fulham on Friday night has been revealed. EPL: Potter’s squad for Chelsea vs Fulham tie revealed Chelsea head to the game after playing a 0-0 draw with Liverpool in their last Premier League match.

And they are just the major permanent ones, we haven't counted the likes of Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana, and Joao Felix (loan). Big-money high-profile signings, long contracts, and dizzying spending levels, Blues' American owners have truly taken the football world by storm, with heads spinning in the offices of every top club across Europe.

Chelsea play host to Fulham at Stamford Bridge in London, England. 1 min: Chelsea 0-0 Fulham Todd Boehly is with former UK chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne in the executive box. Graham Potter looks pensive on the Chelsea bench. They conceded that way when they last met Fulham, who have scored a division-high 11 goals from crosses in the Premier League this season. Fulham will be satsified with the start they've made here. They win a throw-in almost level with their opponents' penalty area on the right, resulting in a cross that Kepa claims comfortably and without challenge inside his penalty area. Mykhailo Mudryk blocks a cross out for a throw-in, and Aleksandar Mitrovic is then called over after appearing to wrestle with Enzo Fernandez inside the Chelsea penalty area. This is about the most exciting sight Chelsea fans have had so far. The Germany international sends a tricky shot comfortably wide, but this is more of what Chelsea want. Fulham aren't dissuaded by Chelsea having their share of attacks during the last few minutes. Kai Havertz is on Tim Ream's shoulder as a ball bounces awkwardly just outside the Fulham penalty area in a central position. Chelsea have now kept a first-half clean sheet in 16 of their 21 games this season, a record only bettered by Newcastle United.
