Chelsea are looking to get back on the winning trail after a run of three matches without victory, losing their last two both to Manchester City following a league and FA Cup double-header. The worrying form is part of a wider run involving just two wins in 10.
Pressure has mounted on Graham Potter from the stands with fans frustrated at the lack of progress made on the pitch by the club after a major summer outlay in the market. Todd Boehly has tried to remedy that with a host of winter signings and they may well be in action against Fulham in the west London derby on Thursday.
The match is the rearranged fixture from the weekend of Queen Elizabeth II's death. It would have been Potter's first match in charge but now comes four months into his reign and with his team languishing 10th in the table.
