Fulham Struggling for Long-Term Momentum
Alvaro Arbeloa replaced Marco Silva as Fulham boss this summer. The Spanish coach will be tasked with improving on the Cottagers’ 11th-place finish in the Premier League last season.
Fulham were inconsistent throughout the 2025/26 campaign and won just three of their final 11 games in all competitions.
This patchy form continued under Arbeloa in pre-season. The west Londoners were winless in four of six friendlies, including defeats to Norwich 2-0 and Crystal Palace 2-1.
The Cottagers beat Stuttgart 1-0 at home in their final pre-season clash. Timothy Castagne found the breakthrough after 67 minutes.
Chelsea Building Momentum With Xabi Alonso
Chelsea appointed Xabi Alonso as new manager in July. The former Real Madrid boss led his new side to a positive pre-season with three wins from six games.
The Blues began pre-season with a 6-4 win against Western Sydney Wanderers. Joao Pedro came off the bench and scored a 27-minute hat-trick.
Back-to-back losses followed before Chelsea responded with a 3-0 victory over AC Milan, where Pedro scored twice. A second-string XI then drew 3-3 against Johor Darul Ta'zim.
Alonso’s team extended their unbeaten run to three games after comfortably beating Real Sociedad 3-1 at home. Morgan Rogers struck on 11 minutes and Joao Pedro scored a brace as Chelsea controlled the game with 1.53 XG.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Fulham (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Timothy Castagne, Jorge Cuenca, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson; Sander Berge, Alex Iwobi; Oscar Bobb, Josh King, Cesar Palacios, Gonzalo García
Defender Joachim Andersen is suspended. Midfielder Tom Cairney is also unavailable due to a knee injury.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Reece James, Maxence Lacroix, Levi Colwill, Jorrel Hato; Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo; Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers; Joao Pedro
Centre-back Wesley Fofana is suspended and unavailable.
Midfielder Jordan Henderson is ruled out with a wrist injury. Attacker Emmanuel Emegha is also doubtful with a hamstring issue.
Danny Welbeck is likely to make the squad after a minor injury issue. Xabi Alonso provided a positive pre-match update on the striker and said, “He needs a couple of days not training too much because of a little thing. We expect him to be back on Saturday.”
Verdict
Fulham face a step up in quality against a Chelsea side stacked with elite players. Joao Pedro showed his goalscoring threat in pre-season and a Blues win with Pedro goals are predicted.
