Fulham 0-0 Chelsea FC LIVE! Felix debut – Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Graham Potter takes his Chelsea side battered by Manchester City only a few days ago in dire need of a win. The Blues are on a run of one win in seven games and the former Brighton boss – externally at least – is under huge pressure as the problems continue to mount. Injuries haven’t helped the cause of course but things really aren’t going to plan. New signing Joao Felix, however, makes a quick-fire debut for the Blues.
Fulham, meanwhile, have enjoyed life back in the Premier League and head into tonight’s game at Craven Cottage full of confidence. Marco Silva’s side sit above west London rivals Brentford and Chelsea after a successful time of things in the top-flight for the first time in what feels like an age.
