Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Carabao Cup game against Birmingham City at St. Andrew's (kick-off 20:00 BST). On team news, Andrews confirmed there will be changes from Saturday's Premier League opener but would not confirm how many. After last season's run to the quarter-finals of this competition, Andrews believes Brentford are "in a good place to attack the domestic competitions on a really good level".
Fulham host Chelsea at Craven Cottage in Matchday 1 of the 2026–27 Premier League season. Here are all the details on how to watch this west London derby live in the United States. Here are all of the details of where you can watch Fulham vs Chelsea on US television and via legal streaming: WHO: Fulham vs Chelsea WHAT: Premier League WHEN: 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT • Monday, August 24, 2026 WHERE: Fubo STREAM: WATCH NOW Match Overview Fulham kicks off their new era under manager Álvaro Arbeloa with a high-stakes West London derby. The Cottagers transformed Craven Cottage into a fortress last season, securing the sixth-best home record in the Premier League with an impressive 35 points from a possible 57. Their defense was particularly stout, with only Manchester City and Arsenal conceding fewer goals on home soil. The challenge now is to maintain that dominance without the guidance of former manager Marco Silva, making this opening test a crucial indicator of their direction. Across London, Chelsea arrives with an urgent mandate for redemption. After a deeply disappointing 10th-place finish last season, the club has invested heavily and placed its faith in celebrated new head coach Xabi Alonso. The pressure is immense for the Blues to make an immediate statement and prove they are once again contenders for European qualification. An opening-day victory against a fierce local rival is not just desired; it is expected, as Alonso looks to implement his winning blueprint from day one. Tactical Analysis & Match Context This match presents a fascinating clash of clubs on different trajectories. Fulham aims to build upon the stability of a mid-table finish, but must navigate the transition to a new manager while integrating fresh talent. In contrast, Chelsea is in the midst of a comprehensive overhaul, banking on Alonso’s tactical genius and a massive summer spending spree to erase the memory of a frustrating campaign. The Blues are starting from a lower base but have far greater resources and expectations. The tactical battle will likely be defined by Chelsea’s aggressive, possession-based style. Alonso’s teams are known for their high press, and Chelsea’s squad is already suited for it, having allowed the fewest passes per defensive action in the league last season. This puts immense pressure on Fulham to be precise and composed when playing out from the back. The game could be won or lost based on how Fulham’s midfield copes with Chelsea’s relentless pressure and whether they can exploit the space left behind on the counter-attack. Motivation is sky-high on both sides. For Chelsea, anything less than a win would be seen as a setback, reigniting supporter frustration after a summer of renewed hope. They need to set the tone for a return to the top four. For Fulham, this is an opportunity to prove their progress is sustainable beyond Marco Silva. Defending their home turf against their wealthy neighbors and giving Arbeloa a signature win to start his tenure would provide a massive psychological boost for the season ahead. Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends Historically, the West London derby has been dominated by Chelsea. Across 95 official meetings, the Blues have claimed victory 54 times compared to just 14 for Fulham, with 27 matches ending in a draw. This long-term record paints a clear picture of Chelsea’s superiority in the fixture over the decades. However, recent encounters have been far more competitive, suggesting the gap has narrowed. Over the last five matchups, Chelsea holds a slender 3-2 advantage. Last season, the home team won each fixture; Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, while Fulham earned a memorable 2-1 win at Craven Cottage in January. This trend highlights the critical role home-field advantage has played in this derby lately. Looking at the data, goals are a common feature. Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between the clubs. The average number of goals per game in t

Martin Keown understands why Arsenal want to sell Gabriel Martinelli (Photo: Getty) Martin Keown understands why Arsenal want to sell Gabriel Martinelli but is hopeful that Mikel Arteta keeps the Brazil star at the Emirates. Arsenal have made a fantastic start to the 2026/27 season, beating Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield, before defeating Coventry City by the same scoreline in their opening Premier League clash. Martinelli failed to make the matchday squad for either match however, fuelling speculation that his seven-year spell in north London is over. The forward’s form dipped last season, recording just one goal and four assists as Arsenal won the Premier League, though he was more productive in the Champions League and FA Cup.

Summer signing Christos Tzolis has performed brilliantly on the left-flank in Martinelli’s absence and the Gunners are still looking to sign another forward before deadline day, with a record-breaking transfer for Julian Alvarez still on the cards. Martinelli has already turned down a transfer to Galatasaray but is reportedly open to joining Al Hilal. Talks are underway with the Saudi Pro League side, with Arsenal wanting up to £60million for the 25-year-old. Ian Wright has publicly criticised Arsenal’s treatment of the player and though Keown doesn’t share he same sentiment, he does believes Martinelli still has much to offer Arteta. Gabriel Martinelli scored just once in the Premier League last season (Photo: Getty) Asked if Arsenal had outgrown Martinelli, the Gunners legend told talkSPORT: ‘No, I think there’s still a place for him. I thought he turned a corner at the end of last season. ‘He [Tzolis] has fitted in remarkably well. So, they [Arsenal] may be looking at that and there may be somebody else in the window that they need the money for from Gabriel Martinelli. ‘They can’t allow his contract to run out. Business has to be done, and everyone has to accept that. ‘He will know exactly his position at the football club, that’s without a doubt. If he does go, it’s with a heavy heart that he goes because he’s a player that I’ve admired in the way that he’s played. Martinelli has not been in the squad for Arsenal’s first two games of the season (Photo: Getty) ‘But if they’re going to the next level and he’s got a year left of his contract…’ Martinelli has indeed entered the final year of his contract but Arsenal hold the option to extend it until 2028. While his future may not lie in north London, Tzolis looks set to have a huge impact for the Gunners this season, recording three assists in his first two games. ‘Tzolis? Yeah, exceptional,’ Keown added. Christos Tzolis has made a fantastic start to his Arsenal career (Photo: Getty) ‘I think as good a debut as I’ve seen from a wide player. I might have to go back as far as Freddy Ljungberg, and he came off the bench in a 3-0 victory against Manchester United. ‘This kid, his decision making [is] excellent, the way he was working on that left-hand side with Riccardo Calafiori, already dove tailing. It’s worked really quickly, very well. ‘He’s exceeded expectations and it’s almost as if they’ve scoured Europe to find the equivalent of Leandro Trossard, that same sort of intelligence. This lad is maybe a bit quicker. ‘It’s a major upgrade on where he was at Norwich before. He’s certainly performed a lot better than he did the last time he would have been at the Emirates.
