Hello and welcome to live coverage of the west London derby at Stamford Bridge. Both teams have had decent starts to the season. Chelsea were held by Crystal Palace and thrashed West Ham; Fulham came from behind to draw with Brighton and Manchester United.
It’s already been a busy day for Chelsea, who have loaned/sold Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich. You can read about that on our matchday live blog. This blog, this thing here, is all about the on-field action.
Kick off is at 12.30pm and we’ll have all the team news shortly.
