It’s an unpredictable Premier League match-up where the points could easily go to either part of the capital. Here’s how to watch a Fulham vs Chelsea live stream, and it’s easy to watch from anywhere using a VPN.

The start of Mauricio Pochettino’s reign in the Chelsea hotseat has suffered no lack of doom-laden column inches or mirth from opposing fans. The Blues’ only win so far this season came at home to Luton Town, and they’ve already gone down to defeats at the hands of Nottm Forest, Aston Villa (both at Stamford Bridge) and across town at West Ham.
They’ll be all too aware that a visit down the road to Craven Cottage will be no easy place to go on Monday, having lost there 2-1 back in January. And they’re not helped with by the sheer amount of players still unavailable, including the likes of Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia. Pochettino seriously needs his senior players to step up and claim their first league win since August 25.
It’s been an up and down kind of campaign so far for Marco Silva’s men in white. After Fulham’s successful return to the top flight last season, losing star man Aleksandar Mitrovic to the Saudi Pro League has taken the wind out of their sails somewhat. Silva will be hopeful that Sasa Lukic will be fit enough to start on Monday, although it looks likely that Adama Traore and Tosin Adarabioyo will miss out through injury.
