Chelsea again start the season as one of the Premier League’s big enigmas but the Blues do look in decent shape for the short trip to Fulham first up. Following a mixed start to their warm-up matches, recent victories over AC Milan and Real Sociedad have made a good impression.
All the signs are that high-profile new head coach Xabi Alonso has hit the ground running and 20/23 for an away win is our initial Fulham vs Chelsea prediction.

Head-to-Head
Fulham vs Chelsea head-to-head record
Local bragging rights have swung one way and then the other between these clubs over the past couple of years, with each team securing two wins apiece. Three of those matches produced 2-1 scorelines and the other was 2-0, so 11/10 for two to three total goals to be netted again here is one for the stats gurus from the goal bands betting market.

Form Guides

Admittedly, Fulham were strong at home last season, with 11 wins in front of their own fans helping them to finish 12 th in the table, only trailing Chelsea on goal difference. However, they are another club making a fresh start after Marco Silva opted not to extend his five-season stay at Craven Cottage .
New boss Alvaro Arbeloa has been boosted by some positive summer transfer moves – including bringing Spanish prospect Gonzalo Garcia with him from Real Madrid as well as Northern Ireland international Shea Charles.
The 43-year-old does lack experience himself, though, having just half a season in charge at the Bernabeu on his managerial CV. It may take Arbeloa a little while to get up to speed with the Premier League , so a BOYLE Sports price boost of 13/8 for the visitors to lead at half-time takes the eye from the F ulham vs Chelsea odds.
Chelsea form guide
Last season was a tough campaign for Chelsea supporters, who waved goodbye to two managers in Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior . The Blues did manage to reach the FA Cup final and the Champions League knockout stage, but a closing run of seven defeats in nine Premier League matches left them with no European football to look forward to this term.
That could be a blessing in disguise, though, as Manchester United showed when only having domestic top-flight matches to focus on during their resurgence under Michael Carrick . Alonso is the man charged with bringing some stability back to Stamford Bridge and he certainly impressed as head coach of Bayer Leverkusen before an ill-fated switch to Real Madrid.
A change of transfer strategy should help, with a big-money move for England international Morgan Rogers backed up by the arrival of experienced campaigners Danny Welbeck , Jordan Henderson and Maxence Lacroix.
The pre-season form of Joao Pedro has been another big boost, as he hit doubles in the 3-1 defeat of Real Sociedad and the 3-0 mauling of AC Milan. Pedro has a point to prove after being left out of Brazil’s World Cup squad despite bagging 15 Premier League goals last term and appeals at 9/2 to break the deadlock here.
For those chasing a bigger pay-out, let’s add 25/1 for Pedro to score first in a 2-1 away win to our Fulham vs Chelsea betting tips.
