Fulham prepare to entertain Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 7 of the 31 games played, and losing 18.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in March 2006, the Cottagers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.
