Improving Fulham can heap more pressure on Chelsea and Frank Lampard in an intriguing London derby.
Scott Parker’s men are making a real fist of things in the top flight and notched a fifth consecutive draw against Tottenham in midweek — a game they were forced to play at only two days’ notice due to coronavirus-related fixture rescheduling.
Although they remain in the bottom three, games in hand over their relegation rivals suggest survival is a real possibility for the unfancied Cottagers.
Chelsea have only lost three of 50 top-flight meetings against Fulham but the visitors are not exactly in peak form.
The Blues have plummeted down the table after an excellent start, taking only four points from their last six league outings to leave under-fire Lampard in desperate need of a positive result.
Tom Cairney and Mario Lemina are both injured for the hosts and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is ineligible to face his parent club, while N’Golo Kante misses out for the visitors through suspension.
