Chelsea and Fulham will get the third Premier League weekend of the season underway when they duke it out in a Saturday lunchtime west London derby.
The Blues stumbled to a draw in their Premier League opener with Crystal Palace but recovered in style with a thumping 5–1 win over West Ham United. They will face London opposition for a third straight game as they seek to enter the September international break on a high by beating their local rivals Fulham.
Chelsea, who lost at home to Fulham last term, have been handed a favourable early fixture list and must take full advantage if they want to enter the Premier League title conversation. These are matches they simply can’t afford to drop points in.
Meanwhile, Fulham are still awaiting their first Premier League victory of the term, although they did win their Carabao Cup second round tie with Bristol City on Wednesday evening. The Cottagers have managed 1–1 draws away at Brighton & Hove Albion and at home to Manchester United in their opening two fixtures.
Here’s how to catch an intriguing battle in the capital on TV this Saturday.
