Chelsea vs Fulham - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Chelsea host Fulham in the Premier League's return this Saturday
- Both sides fell to midweek Carabao Cup semi-final first leg defeats
- Blues had won previous three prior to Middlesbrough loss
Chelsea play host to Fulham at Stamford Bridge as the Premier League returns this Saturday lunchtime.
Both sides were in action midweek in their respective Carabao Cup semi-finals, Chelsea and Fulham falling to disappointing first-leg defeats against Middlesbrough and Liverpool respectively. It was a particularly underwhelming outcome for the Blues against Championship Boro as Mauricio Pochettino's side lost 1-0 at the Riverside Stadium.
Chelsea have already faced Fulham earlier this season, a game the Blues won 2-0. Quick-fire goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja proved decisive on that night at Craven Cottage, a result that ensured Fulham's woeful record against their west London rivals continued - the Cottagers have won just once in their last 24 meetings with Chelsea.

Chelsea vs Fulham score prediction
Chelsea boast a phenomenal record in past meetings with Fulham, seldom coming unstuck against the Cottagers. In fact, the Blues haven't been beaten by their west London neighbours at Stamford Bridge since 1979.
While it's incredibly difficult to predict which Chelsea side will show up on Saturday, they're unbeaten at home since late October, winning their previous five in all competitions - if you include their penalty shootout victory over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
While Fulham are capable of causing Chelsea plenty of problems, as they did to Liverpool midweek, the Cottagers may not have enough in the tank to topple the Blues on the road.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Fulham
