How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Chelsea

A title-level side, Chelsea will expect to dominate possession in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge. Fulham need discipline for the full 90 minutes.

Away

Fulham

A steady mid-table team, Fulham defend well on the road at Stamford Bridge but can struggle to turn possession into chances.

Match preview

Fulham visit Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the 2026/27 Premier League. As the London derby, it carries extra edge, and derbies are usually tighter than the table suggests. We project 1.93 expected goals for Chelsea against 0.68 for Fulham, and that gap drives our 67% rating for Chelsea. Check the team sheets, released roughly an hour before kick-off, because one absence can shift the odds more than anything else.
