Fulham vs Chelsea

Pedro Neto’s goal (92:31) was Chelsea’s latest winning goal on record in a Premier League London derby (since 2006-07).

Fulham have dropped 25 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, with only Ipswich Town dropping more in the competition this term (27).

Today’s defeat puts an end to Fulham’s eight-match long streak in the Premier League of alternating between a victory and a defeat, with this only the second time this season that the Cottagers have lost back-to-back matches and the first time since October 2024.

Fulham are looking to complete the league double over Chelsea for the very first time, in what is the 40th different league campaign in which they’ve met.

Chelsea have won five of their last six Premier League away games against Fulham, with the exception being a 2-1 loss in January 2023.

Fulham have won two of their last five league games against Chelsea (D1 L2), more than they had in their previous 35 against the Blues (W1 D12 L22).

This will be Fulham’s fourth ever league game played on Easter Sunday – they beat Manchester City in 2009 and Wigan in 2010, before a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa in 2021.

Having beaten Arsenal 2-1 in their first ever league game played on Easter Sunday in 2008, Chelsea have now lost their last two on this day (0-2 v Man Utd in 2017, 1-3 v Tottenham in 2018).
