Fulham v Chelsea tickets | Premier League | Craven Cottage
This West London derby brings together two clubs separated by just a few miles of the River Thames. Fulham, under Marco Silva, are looking to build on their record-breaking 2026-2027 Premier League points haul and push towards European qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive as trophy winners under Enzo Maresca, chasing their first Premier League title since 2017.
Fulham enter this season with manager Marco Silva approaching his 200th game in charge at Craven Cottage, the longest stint of his managerial career. The Portuguese coach has transformed Fulham into an established Premier League side after winning promotion from the Championship. Despite limited summer recruitment with only goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte arriving, Silva has maintained a settled squad featuring key performers from last season's campaign.
Chelsea arrive under Enzo Maresca having won both the UEFA Conference League (beating Real Betis 4-1 in the final) and the FIFA Club World Cup (defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0) in 2025. The Blues have continued their youth-focused recruitment, with Brazilian wonderkind Estevão Willian and Ecuadorian prodigy Kendry Páez now part of the first-team squad. Cole Palmer remains the centrepiece of Chelsea's attack after establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most exciting talents.
Recent meetings: Drama on the Thames
August 2025 - Chelsea's derby dominance
Chelsea claimed a 2-0 victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge earlier this season. João Pedro's header from an Enzo Fernández corner opened the scoring before Fernández himself sealed the win deep into stoppage time. The result extended Chelsea's impressive home record in this fixture.
April 2025 - Late drama at Craven Cottage
Chelsea produced a stunning comeback to win 2-1 at Craven Cottage. Alex Iwobi gave Fulham the lead in the 20th minute, but substitute Tyrique George equalised with a spectacular strike five minutes after coming on. Pedro Neto then netted a 95th-minute winner to break Fulham hearts and secure Chelsea's top-four position.
December 2024 - Fulham's historic Boxing Day triumph
Fulham produced one of their most memorable results in this fixture, winning 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day.

Key players to watch
Fulham's key players
Raúl Jiménez: The experienced Mexican striker was Fulham's top scorer last season with 14 goals in all competitions. At 33, his hold-up play and aerial ability remain crucial to Marco Silva's system.
Antonee Robinson: The American left-back has established himself as one of the Premier League's most attacking full-backs, contributing 10 assists last season. His overlapping runs down the left flank are central to Fulham's threat.
Emile Smith Rowe: The former Arsenal midfielder has thrived since joining Fulham, bringing creativity and goals from midfield. His history against Chelsea includes goals at Stamford Bridge during his Arsenal days.
Alex Iwobi: The Nigerian international has been a revelation since joining Fulham, providing nine goals and six assists last season. His versatility and work rate make him invaluable to Silva's plans.
Chelsea's star players
Cole Palmer: The England international has been sensational since joining from Manchester City. His ability to score and create makes him Chelsea's most dangerous player, and he has a strong record against Fulham.
Estevão Willian: Brazilian soccer's most exciting prospect since Neymar, the 18-year-old has lived up to his billing since officially joining Chelsea. His dribbling, vision, and end product have added a new dimension to Maresca's attack.
Moisés Caicedo: The Ecuadorian midfielder has become Chelsea's midfield anchor, providing the defensive shield and passing range that allows the attacking players freedom to express themselves.
Reece James: When fit, Chelsea's captain remains one of the world's best right-backs. His overlapping runs and delivery make Chelsea a constant threat from wide areas in the West London derby.
Venue: Craven Cottage - A riverside gem
Historic charm on the Thames
Craven Cottage has been Fulham's home since 1896, making it one of English soccer's most historic grounds. Situated on the picturesque banks of the River Thames, this charming stadium offers one of soccer's most romantic and distinctive settings. The current capacity stands at approximately 29,600 following the completion of the Riverside Stand redevelopment in 2024.
The stadium features the iconic Grade II-listed Johnny Haynes Stand and the famous Cottage Pavilion that gives the ground its name. The only tree to be found inside a senior soccer stadium in the UK stands at the corner between the Hammersmith End and the Riverside Stand.
Stadium sections
Craven Cottage comprises four main stands: The Johnny Haynes Stand (North), The Putney End (East), The Riverside Stand (South, recently redeveloped), and The Hammersmith End (West). The Hammersmith End is known for generating the most atmospheric support. Away fans are typically housed in the Putney End.
Getting to Craven Cottage
By Underground (Tube)
Putney Bridge station on the District Line is the closest Underground station, approximately 10-20 minutes walk from the stadium. Exit the station, turn left on Ranelagh Gardens, walk through the underpass into Bishops Park, and follow the Thames path to the stadium. This walk through Bishops Park is known as the "Green Mile" among Fulham fans.
Alternative stations include Hammersmith (1.4 miles, served by Hammersmith & City, Circle, Piccadilly and District lines) and Fulham Broadway (1.3 miles, District Line).
By Train
Putney Railway Station is 1.2 miles from Craven Cottage, served by South Western Railway. Direct trains run from London Waterloo (13 minutes) and Clapham Junction (5 minutes).
By Bus
Bus routes 220, 430, 74, 85, and C4 all serve the stadium area. The 85 and C4 from Kingston-upon-Thames stop at Putney Bridge, leaving a 10-15 minute walk to the ground.

Tactical preview
Fulham's approach
Marco Silva has built Fulham into a side comfortable with possession but equally dangerous on the counter-attack. Antonee Robinson's marauding runs down the left are a key outlet, while the midfield trio provides both creativity and defensive solidity. Against Chelsea, Fulham will look to exploit any space left by the visitors' attacking full-backs.
Chelsea's blueprint
Maresca has implemented a clear tactical identity at Chelsea: build from the back, control possession, and attack through wide areas. Palmer operates as the creative hub, with Estevão and the wide players providing width and direct threat. In derby matches, Chelsea's quality in depth often proves decisive.
