Chelsea follow Arsenal by considering postponing their Boxing Day fixture against Fulham at Stamford Bridge due to proposed tube strikes.

Chelsea's Boxing Day match against Fulham is the latest fixture to come under threat due to planned strikes on the London Underground.

London rivals Arsenal had earlier stated that they were considering postponing their match against Wolves at the Emirates, scheduled for the same day.

The Blues have revealed they are consulting with the relevant authorities amid concerns the 24-hour walkout will prevent fans, employees and matchday staff travelling to the ground.

A club statement said: "Chelsea football club would like to make clear that we are consulting with London Transport, the Metropolitan Police and all relevant local authorities regarding our Barclays Premier League fixture with Fulham at Stamford Bridge on December 26.

"At present, a proposed industrial strike on London Underground, combined with the lack of national rail services in operation could make reaching the stadium difficult both for Chelsea and Fulham supporters, as well as matchday staff and employees, all of whose safety and wellbeing remains our primary concern."

Further strikes are apparently scheduled over the upcoming months.
