Fulham vs ChelseaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Fulham and Chelsea round out the weekend with different preseason form behind them. Fulham beat VfB Stuttgart 1-0 in their final warm-up, after a 2-2 draw in Malaga and a 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace. Chelsea won 3-1 against Real Sociedad in their last test, following a 3-3 draw in Malaysia with Johor Darul Takzim and a 3-0 win over AC Milan. The recent meetings are fairly even: three Chelsea wins against two for Fulham in the last five, with no draws, the most recent one won 2-1 by the Cottagers back in January 2026. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
