Chelsea have been busy in the summer transfer window, but then again they always are. They begin the 2026-27 Premier League season with a trip to nearby Fulham. The Cottagers are difficult to beat at home and our prediction here is BTTS..
Last season saw Chelsea finish tenth in the Premier League. They only finished above 11th placed Fulham on goal difference. Both clubs missed out on European qualification and that lack of extra fixtures may well help the Blues this season. They of course begin the season with another new coach and Alonso has already seen his squad strengthened with signings such as Rogers and Lacroix. Like Fulham, they conceded over 50 league goals last season.
Fulham actually won one more game than Chelsea in the Premier League last season. They also have a new coach with Alvaro Arbeloa now in charge at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers have also been busy signing new players, but this is a tough opening game for them.

Fulham - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Chelsea won seven away league games last season, but lost the same number. Three of their last four were lost and that played a major contribution to them failing to qualify for European football this season.
Another typical summer for Chelsea.
The Blues as ever made the decision to appoint a new coach and to spend millions in the next transfer window. Six pre-season friendlies were played by Chelsea and three of them were won with a couple of losses. They were unbeaten in their last three against Milan, Johor DT and Real Sociedad with nine goals scored.
Last season saw Chelsea beat Fulham at home but lose 2--1 at Craven Cottage in January. They did win here in 2025.
Fulham were in contention for European qualification last season, but they ended up finishing in 11th place. The Cottagers also played six pre-season friendlies with just two wins over Farense and Stuttgart. Home form last term saw Fulham win 11 home games, including three of the last four.
That stat also applies to the number of recent games between these two clubs that saw both teams score.

Fulham & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Fulham will be without midfielder Thomas Cairney who has had surgery on his left knee. Also definitely not playing for the home side will be Joachim Anderson who will be serving a suspension.
The Real Madrid connection.
Two of their signings this summer (Garcia and Palacios) both came from Real Madrid., a club their new coach knows very well. They are both young players with lots of ambition, but lack experience and it will be interesting to see how they fare in the Premier League this season. Shea Charles looks to be a good signing from Championship side Southampton, but Fulham challenging for European qualification looks a difficult task.
Chelsea had a disappointing season last term, despite being the reigning world club champions. As ever, it's changes left, right and centre for the Blues, both on and off the pitch. Alonso look a good appointment, he'll hope the owners are patient with him if he doesn't get off to a good start.
Signings such as Morgan Rogers, Geovany Quenda and Maxence Lacroix have cost over £200 million. The arrival of Danny Welbeck from Brighton and Jordan Henderson from Brentford will add experience to their youthful squad.

Our Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction
Chelsea will have huge hopes of a much better season than last term. They did reach the FA Cup final, but only finished tenth in the Premier League, 33 points behind champions Arsenal. 110 goals were scored in their 38 league games last season.
Like their opponents, Fulham begin the new season with a new coach. They have made some new signings, though nowhere as near as spectacular as those of their opponents. Our main Fulham v Chelsea prediction is BTTS.
