Chelsea vs Fulham LIVE! Friendly match stream, latest score and goal updates today
The Premier League Summer Series tonight concludes in the United States with an intriguing London derby. A win tonight for the Blues could see them claim the pre-season friendly tournament Stateside in a welcome boost with less than two weeks until the new campaign kicks off.
Mauricio Pochettino will be pleased with how his squad have performed over the pond, especially new forwards Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, as he enjoys an unbeaten start to life as manager. Fulham, meanwhile, are yet to win in America having lost to both Brentford and Aston Villa, while also navigating speculation over the futures of manager Marco Silva – who is staying put – and star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic – who is back with the squad but unsure for how long.
Will Chelsea secure silverware before the real work starts in a fortnight, or can Fulham replicate their win over the Blues from just six months ago? Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at the FedEx Field in Maryland.
Live updates
3min: Half a chance for Chelsea in the opening minutes as Chukwuemeka tries to feed Burstow into the area but the pass is slightly overhit.
Kick-off
1min: Here we go!
Kevin Durant does the traditional pre-match coin flop, and fumbles it – which is a tad surprising.
Here come the teams! It’s almost time.
So, whoever wins tonight will win the inaugural Premier League Summer Series. But, if it’s a draw, Aston Villa will claim the trophy on goal difference.
It appears to be a very Chelsea-heavy crowd in Maryland. So much so, I’m yet to see a Fulham shirt on the TV coverage.
The players are back in their dressing rooms ahead of kick-off. Not long now.
Durant is a Blue!
Another new signing for Chelsea ahead of kick-off. They just cannot stop spending.

“There is still no Madueke for Chelsea today. Hopefully he makes the Dortmund game in three days’ time.”
It’s pretty miserable weather back in London but not so in Maryland where it’s a balmy 28C.
