History of the Fulham v Chelsea fixture
Fulham prepare to entertain Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 5 of the 34 games played, and losing 20.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in April 2012, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premier League match.
