Only a win will satisfy the Chelsea supporters in this Stamford Bridge clash with Fulham, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier League table.

Insights:
  • Chelsea have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Fulham have the fewest points from losing position (2) in Premier League

Chelsea have less rest than Fulham in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Champions League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Real Madrid, so at least Chelsea are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Fulham are struggling to avoid relegation.
