The upcoming Chelsea vs Fulham match promises to be an intriguing contest, given the historical context and the recent form of both teams. Chelsea, despite their inconsistent season, will look to bounce back from a surprising defeat to Middlesbrough and reaffirm their credentials. Fulham, currently in 13th place, is also seeking redemption after a narrow loss to Liverpool in the EFL Cup.
Looking at the head-to-head statistics, Chelsea holds a significant advantage over Fulham, having won 51 out of the 90 matches played between the two teams. Moreover, Chelsea is unbeaten in their last 18 home matches against Fulham in all competitions, with the last such defeat dating back to October 1979. Fulham's recent record against Chelsea in the Premier League is not favorable, having won only one of their last 23 encounters, with that lone victory occurring last year in a 2-1 result.
A notable historical statistic is Fulham's struggle against Chelsea in the English league system, having won only eight of their 77 matches - the lowest win rate by one team against another in English league history.
Chelsea's recent success in London derbies, winning each of their last two in the Premier League, adds an interesting dynamic to this match. The Blues will aim to build on this trend and secure another victory, while Fulham will hope to defy the odds and improve their record against their local rivals.
With both teams eager to make amends for recent setbacks, the Chelsea vs Fulham match promises to be a compelling encounter, and fans can expect an intense battle on the field.
