Fulham prepare to entertain Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 6 of the 30 games played, and losing 18.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in November 2004, with Chelsea inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Cottagers in a League Cup match.
