Neither side go into Friday’s match in any sort of form, with Chelsea languishing down in 10th in the league as we enter the second half of the season.
Graham Potter’s side have won just once in their last six matches in all competitions, but have brought in considerable reinforcements over the January transfer window.
The Blues have spent just shy of £300m this winter, most notably setting a new league record in paying £107 for young World Cup winning Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez, taking their total spend this season to almost £550m.
Potter’s side will leapfrog Fulham up into the top six if they bag all three points on Friday, due to other teams not playing until later in the weekend.
Marco Silva’s Fulham side enjoyed a fantastic opening half to the season, and currently sit in seventh despite many people touting them to go straight back down to the Championship this season.
After winning five matches on the trot after the World Cup, the Cottagers have hit a slight lull in form, currently winless in their last three including only managing a draw against Championship side Sunderland in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The two sides did meet in the league just three weeks ago when Fulham earned themselves a 2-1 victory, their first win in the fixture since 2006.
Fulham fans will have to go back 59 years though to find their last victory at Stamford Bridge, coming way back in 1964.
