The opening gameweek of the season signs off with a West London derby, and with two clubs starting afresh under new management.
Fulham have moved on from Marco Silva after five years, the Portuguese having returned home to Benfica over the summer. Alvaro Arbeloa takes over at Craven Cottage on a three-year deal.
His Real Madrid connections helped bring Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios to the club, and both are expected to feature. Garcia carries a fair weight of expectation given Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez, last season’s leading scorers, have both departed.
Tom Cairney is the only injury absentee with a knee problem, though Joachim Andersen sits out the last game of a three-match ban.
Chelsea begin life under Xabi Alonso, the fifth managerial appointment of the BlueCo era, after a tenth-placed finish left them without European football.
Joao Pedro has committed his future to the club until 2032 and arrived with seven pre-season goals behind him. Morgan Rogers has joined for a British record fee to work alongside Cole Palmer in the attacking third.
Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha are both ruled out, Wesley Fofana is suspended after a red card on the final day of last season, and Danny Welbeck faces a late fitness test.
Fulham won this fixture 2-1 back in January, their first home victory over Chelsea since 2023. They have not beaten the Blues in consecutive meetings since the 1970s.
