Chelsea saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton. Fulham were also involved in a goalless draw against Southampton, but there is reason to believe we will see more goals on Boxing Day.

Having said that, Chelsea have scored 23 goals away compared to 14 at home. Their overall record on the road is better than it is at Stamford Bridge, so Fulham could have some joy if they set up in a low block and deny Chelsea space between the lines.

The Cottagers will also look to carry a threat going forward. But they have a dismal record in this fixture, having failed to win at the Bridge since 1979.

Tune in to find out who comes out on top, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action thanks to our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your usual subscription?

You can still watch Chelsea vs Fulham live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market — find out why we love it in our NordVPN review.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple, just follow these steps.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that's showing Chelsea vs Fulham and watch the game as you would at home.
