Chelsea will take on Fulham in a Premier League London derby clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Blues are 10th in the standings and only four points ahead of the visitors as they head into the game.
Mauricio Pochettino's team is going through a disappointing season overall. They have shown flashes of potential but have not been consistent. After a run of three back-to-back wins, their most recent outing was a defeat in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final in the hands of Middlesbrough.
Fulham also suffered a defeat in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool and will be looking to bounce back with a result that may or may not be considered an upset, considering their opponents' form.
