Fulham vs. Chelsea: Lineups & Game Thread

Welcome to the 78th edition of the West London "Derby". The pride of SW6 is at stake! More importantly, Chelsea's Champions League future is at stake.

Clive Mason

Chelsea haven't lost to Fulham in 15 matches, since 2006, and a random Louis Boa Morte goal. Now is not the time to break this streak.

Worryingly, Chelsea have only one win in the last four visits to Craven Cottage. Now is not the time to continue this hapless streak.

Three points or bust!
