Chelsea are looking for revenge over Fulham as the London rivals meet again in the Premier League just three weeks after a shock win for the Cottagers.
Willian and Carlos Vinicius both scored, as Chelsea debutant Joao Felix was sent off, in a rare win for Fulham over their west London neighbours last month.
Chelsea remain two points behind Fulham ahead of tonight’s game but have since added signed the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez, the latter hopeful of making his own debut here after a blockbuster British record move from Benfica in the final hours on deadline day.

Chelsea vs Fulham prediction
Chelsea, you would hope, will have renewed hope and purpose now the January transfer window has closed with them firmly stocked up on talent - it’s just down to Graham Potter to make it all work.
Fulham are extremely well-drilled and will prove a tough test - just ask Chelsea! - but I fancy the Blues to have the edge in front of a no doubt giddy home crowd. This game is rarely high-scoring, so any will should be narrow.
Chelsea to win, 1-0.
