"Chelsea continue their run of all-London fixtures with a West London derby against Fulham in Saturday's early Premier League kick-off. Enzo Maresca's side arrive in a buoyant mood after thrashing West Ham 5-1 last weekend. Despite losing Cole Palmer to injury in the warm-up and conceding early to a Lucas Paqueta strike, the Blues responded through Joao Pedro, who opened his account, before goals from Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah sealed a dominant win."
"Fulham, meanwhile, stretched their unbeaten start to the season with another 1-1 draw, this time against Manchester United. After falling behind through a controversial Rodrigo Muniz own goal, substitute Emile Smith Rowe equalised with his first touch to earn Marco Silva's men a deserved point. That result was followed by a comfortable 2-0 win over Bristol City in the Carabao Cup, but Fulham's away form in the Premier League remains a concern."
Chelsea arrive buoyant after a 5-1 victory over West Ham, overcoming an early Lucas Paqueta strike and the loss of Cole Palmer in the warm-up. Joao Pedro opened his account and goals from Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah completed the win. Teenage winger Estevao Willian became the youngest Chelsea player to provide a Premier League assist at 18 years and 120 days. The result was Chelsea's 10th win in 12 matches across competitions and continued their run of scoring in opening home league games. Cole Palmer’s groin problem rules him out, leaving Joao Pedro and Liam Delap likely to lead the line. Fulham remain unbeaten but retain away defensive concerns and have not kept an away clean sheet in nine successive league games.
