Two post-Christmas victories lifted the mood around Chelsea after a dismal first half of the season. However, a 1-0 defeat away at Middlesbrough in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final delivered a reality check as Mauricio Pochettino’s side were wasteful in front of goal and club record signing Moises Caicedo had a night to forget.
With Christopher Nkunku still out injured, Chelsea’s problems in front of goal look set to continue and Fulham will hope to take advantage. The Cottagers are four points behind their West London rivals but come into the game on the back of a hugely impressive victory in their last league game as they secured a 2-1 win over high-flying Arsenal.
Fulham will certainly carry a threat as striker Raúl Jiménez looks back to his best, while the lively and hard-working Tom Cairney has been excellent in recent weeks and has allowed Willian and Alex Iwobi to thrive in wide areas.
Here's how they line up:
Chelsea XI: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Fernandez; Sterling, Palmer, Gallagher; Broja.
Subs: Bettinelli, Bergström, Badiashile, Mudryk, Madueke, Chukwuemeka, Chilwell, Deivid, Gilchrist.
Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Diop, Robinson; Palhinha, Cairney; Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez.
Subs: Rodák, Reed, Ream, De Cordova-Reid, Muniz, Castagne, Lukic, Vinícius, Francois.
