Fulham Vs Chelsea: Blues seeking to extend unbeaten run against Fulham to 21 games in 17 years

Chelsea will be seeking to kickstart their indifferent season Thursday against a side they have lost just once against in 35 league games since the old Second Division

in 1979.

The Blues have won just once in their last seven games across all competitions and Graham Potter’s side who are 10th on the Premier League log, 10 points outside the Champions League spot and 19 adrift of league leaders Arsenal will be aiming to extend their 20-match unbeaten Premier League run against Fulham to 21.

The first and the last time Chelsea lost in the Premier League to Fulham was on Sunday March 19, 2006 at Craven Cottage where the host, through a Luis Boa Morte’s 17th

minute goal pipped the visiting, Jose Mourinho led Blues 1-0.

Chelsea defender William Gallas was red carded in the final minute of regulation.

If Chelsea triumph Thursday against the in-form Cottagers who are seeking a first ever fourth straight win in the Premier League after beating Crystal Palace 3-0,

Southampton 2-1 and Leicester City 1-0, they will extend their club-record of straight league victories over Fulham to eight.

It will also be the Blues’ 50th victory against the Cottagers in all competitions.
