Premier League - Chelsea vs. Fulham Preview: The Blues are getting better and welcoming hardcore at home

6:51pm, 30 August 2025Football

After the first two rounds of the Premier League in the new season, several BIG6 companies are happy and some are sad.

defending champion Liverpool, runner-up Arsenal and Tottenham, which had a terrible Premier League record last season, all achieved two consecutive victories at the start. Liverpool narrowly won in two consecutive rounds, and their offensive performance was not stable. Ekitic was obviously stronger than Nunes. The problem was that the defense was too big. Arsenal's new player center Yorke is similar to Ekitic and has adapted well. In the third round, Liverpool will play Arsenal at home, which just tests the quality of the championship competition between the two sides.

As for Tottenham, the record in the previous season was pretty good. This season's most realistic goal is to maintain sixth and fight for four, and it is hard to say whether it can be achieved.

The two great powers in Manchester are still embarrassing. Manchester City defeated Wolves 4:0 away in the first round, and lost 0:2 to Tottenham at home in the second round. From last season to now, it is still not good to play with strong teams. Manchester United spent more than 200 million euros in the summer window to create a new trident, with 1 draw and 1 loss in the first two rounds of the Premier League, and was eliminated by a British League Two team in the second round of the League Cup. Not to mention the championship, it is hard to say whether Amorin can withstand until winter without get out of class being dismissed.

Chelsea, in the rising period, is one of the favorites to compete for the championship. It is an accident that the first round of home draw of Crystal Palace was a 0-0 victory over West Ham United 5-1 away in this round, proving the team's true combat power.

The opponent is not strong, but it is difficult to deal with.

Chelsea vs Fulham

Nature of the match: Premier League round 3

Match time: August 30 19:30

Compared with several exes such as Tuchel, Porter, Pochettino, etc., the changes brought to Chelsea by the Italians are very obvious. This summer, there are frequent big moves in the transfer market, the lineup created is more competitive, and the progress in eliminating redundant staff is also very efficient, and funds are quickly collected.

After a season of polishing, the Blues' defense has been very stable. After introducing many strong aids this summer, the most obvious improvement is the offensive end. Delapp and Joao Pedro are the two most classic signings, such as Drogba during Mourinho and Diego Costa during Conte.

New aid Gittens has not yet started in the summer window, and with Garnacho, who has just been introduced from Manchester United, as the season deepens, there will be more choices on the left side of the offensive end.

Fulham is a typical team with better results than strength. It finally ranked 11th in the Premier League last season. Its record in the first two rounds of the new season was also excellent. It drew Brighton 1:1 away and drew Manchester United 1:1 at home. The opponent's lineup strength is far above himself.

Playing with a team that is weaker than you, you are sure to play with a top-level team and not lose the upper hand, so you can achieve higher results than your strength.

The two sides have faced each other in the last 10 times, with Chelsea having the upper hand in 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. But Fulham is not afraid of Chelsea. Last season, both sides defeated their opponents 2:1 away.

Chelsea is stronger and has played at home. It is in good shape recently. This game is definitely worthy of prominence.
