According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea FC has been charged by the FA over allegations of discriminatory conduct by fans during a West London derby at Craven Cottage last month.

The FA has charged Chelsea FC with breaching FA rule E21. The incident occurred in the 9th minute of a Premier League match against Fulham on August 24. An FA spokesperson said: "It is alleged that the club failed to ensure that its spectators and/or supporters did not behave in an improper, offensive, insulting, abusive, or discriminatory manner. It is further alleged that the conduct was discriminatory, with reference to religion or belief, whether explicit or implicit."

Chelsea FC issued a letter to fans after they won 3-2 away at Fulham last month. The match was Chelsea FC's opening Premier League fixture of the new season, and the club received multiple reports of discriminatory chanting from some fans after the match ended.

In an email to supporters, Chelsea FC warned that "the strictest possible action" would be taken against offenders, including stadium bans. The club stated: "Your passion and support are vital to a successful season, and we encourage you to continue supporting the team. Following this match, we received multiple reports of discriminatory chanting from a small number of individuals at the venue. We want to strongly remind all supporters that the club does not tolerate any racist chanting targeting protected characteristics."
