Fulham face west London rivals, Chelsea, at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues bounced back from the bitter disappointment of defeat in last weekend's League Cup final with a win against Tottenham on Wednesday.
The hosts suffered a 2-0 defeat against Southampton in midweek. It was a result that leaves Fulham 10 points adrift of safety with just 10 matches remaining and Claudio Ranieri was given his marching orders follow the latest defeat.
Maurizio Sarri's side, though, are chasing Champions League qualification and will fancy their chances of victory this weekend.
Latest odds
Chelsea are chalked up as 8/15 (1.53) favourites with William Hill to win at Craven Cottage.
GettyScott Parker has been named as caretaker boss and his side are available at 5/1 (6.0) to claim a vital victory as they fight to preserve their Premier League place. William Hill go 100/30 (4.33) that Sunday's showdown ends in stalemate.
Team news
Marcus Bettinelli, Alfie Mawson and former Chelsea star, Andre Schurrle, are all set to miss out for the hosts.
Kepa Arrizabalaga was dropped in midweek. It remains to be seen whether the Spanish stopper will return to the Blues' starting line-up or not. Danny Drinkwater, Gary Cahill and Davide Zappacosta remain out.
Fulham failing to fire
The home side have drawn a blank in three of their last four fixtures in the Premier League. Furthermore, Fulham have scored in just three of the last 10 matches between these teams. William Hill offer 13/10 (2.30) that the hosts fail to find the net against the Blues on Sunday.
Chelsea have kept three successive clean sheets, winning two of those matches. William Hill go 13/8 (2.63) that the Blues win without conceding at Craven Cottage.
A tight tussle
Those anticipating a glut of goals, however, could be left disappointed. There have been fewer than three goals in nine of the last 12 renewals of this rivalry. William Hill offer 6/5 (2.20) that there are fewer than three goals scored on Sunday. The same firm go even money (2.0) that either side fails to find the net.
Dominant Blues
Remarkably, just two of the last 32 meetings of these clubs have been settled by a margin of more than two goals. As such, William Hill offer just 4/9 (1.44) that Fulham (+2) beat the handicap mark this weekend.
Prediction
Another Chelsea win seems likely, given Fulham's dismal form and appalling record in this fixture. However, the goals may not flow freely for Sarri's side at Craven Cottage.
William Hill's 16/5 (4.20) quote for the Blues to win a match in which fewer than three goals are scored could offer best value here.
