August 24: Fulham vs Chelsea
This match feels like a momentum vs talent matchup.
Expect a tight, physical match where the midfield battle (Caicedo/Enzo vs Reed/Berge) decides control. A draw or narrow Chelsea win aligns with the predictive models, but Fulham’s form makes an upset very plausible.
Score Prediction: Chelsea 2 Fulham 1
