With west London bragging rights up for grabs on Saturday lunchtime, Chelsea will welcome local rivals Fulham to Stamford Bridge.

Putting in what was a rampant performance last weekend as they put a maiden Premier League victory on the board, Enzo Maresca’s men will be confident of claiming local bragging rights and clinching consecutive top-flight wins.

While Fulham might have opened the 2025/26 campaign with back-to-back stalemates, the Cottagers have largely struggled to find any real stability on either side of the summer break and they look for a stern examination this weekend.

Ahead of Saturday’s derby showdown, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Chelsea vs Fulham Bet Builder Tips.

Chelsea looking to make another statement

While Chelsea might have been left frustrated earlier in the month as they opened the new campaign with a 0-0 stalemate at home against Crystal Palace, the former Leicester boss saw his squad come roaring back in a sensational fashion last time out.

Securing what was a remarkable 5-1 romp away at historic rivals West Ham last weekend, Maresca’s side will be confident of making another statement when they return to Stamford Bridge on Saturday lunchtime.

Making real history on on July 13th as they were crowned Club World Cup champions thanks to a famous and empathic 3-0 victory against French heavyweights PSG, Chelsea have also gained a reputation for their continued dominance on home soil.

In fact, the Blues have not suffered a single domestic defeat across any competition at Stamford Bridge so far this calendar year.

Likewise, landing a 2-1 win when they last met Fulham back on April 20th when they travelled across west London, they have also won four of their last five showdowns against Saturday’s guests.

Pedro hoping to open his Stamford Bridge account

While England International Cole Palmer might have largely struggled to find his clinical best on either side of the summer interval, Chelsea have a new attacking talisman.

Watching the Blues agree a reported £60million deal with Brighton, Joao Pedro has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving in west London and opened his Premier League account last weekend.

Eventually leaving the London Stadium with a maiden top-flight strike and a pair of assists, Pedro has already cemented his spot as the new leading man at Stamford Bridge and will be confident of testing a Fulham defence that has failed to record a Premier League clean sheet since returning from March’s international break.

Bagging a Club World Cup brace on his competitive debut against boyhood club on July 8th, the Brazilian ace has now registered six goals in as many appearances continuing on from Chelsea’s summer preparations.

Putting in a Man of the Match performance away at West Ham last weekend, Pedro will once again play a leading role here.

A tough task for Silva’s squad

While Fulham might have come from behind as they claimed a 1-1 stalemate at home against Manchester United last weekend, the Cottagers will certainly feel that they missed out on a golden opportunity.

Opening the 2025/26 campaign with another 1-1 draw away at Brighton earlier in the month, there has been some speculation that Marco Silva is growing frustrated behind the scenes at Craven Cottage.

Eventually falling short in the race to book a famous European ticket last season, it is fair to sat that Saturday’s guests have largely struggled to find any real stability on either side of the summer interval.

Despite extending on their EFL Cup adventure on Wednesday night as they claimed a 2-0 victory against Championship outfit Bristol City, Fulham have now mustered just a trio of wins from any of their previous 12 meetings against Premier League opposition.

Landing just two top-flight wins away from Craven Cottage since the end of February, the former Everton boss finds his squad pencilled in as a real underdog contender when they travel across west London.
