Chelsea travel to neighbours Fulham tonight while they seek a victory in interim boss Calum McFarlane’s final game in charge.
Currently, the Blues arrive at Craven Cottage following a morale-boosting draw. Specifically, they held Manchester City at the Etihad over the weekend. Now, they prepare for the arrival of new boss Liam Rosenior. However, interim coach McFarlane is determined to leave on a high note. Historically, Chelsea boast a sensational record in this fixture. Therefore, they aim to maintain dominance over their neighbours. Crucially, a win keeps them in the hunt for European qualification.

Fortunately, Calum McFarlane receives a major boost. Specifically, Moises Caicedo becomes available again after serving a suspension. In addition, Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana returned to full training. Notably, Cole Palmer is fit to start. Previously, he came through 90 minutes unscathed against Manchester City. Impressively, he sits one appearance away from 100 Premier League matches.
However, the visitors remain without Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia. Similarly, Mykhaylo Mudryk also misses out. In midfield, Enzo Fernandez anchors alongside Caicedo. Remarkably, the Argentine scored five open-play goals this season. In attack, Liam Delap expects to lead the line. Finally, Pedro Neto and Estevao will provide support.
