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 7 of the 34 games played, and losing 20.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in December 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premier League match.
