Team News
Ashkan Dejagah, Damien Duff and Mahamadou Diarra are all out for Fulham. Steve Sidwell is suspended. Oriol Romeu, Ashley Cole and Gary Cahill are all out for Chelsea.
Analysis
Fulham’s form has slightly dipped recently. They drew against Villa in their last match and lost to Newcastle prior to that. They are a respectable tenth in the table. Fulham, capable of scaring any side, will relish the challenge called Chelsea. Chelsea will come into this one slightly disheartened following the loss against Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinals. The Blues will be desperate to tie up a spot in the top four in the table to secure Champions League football for next season. Overall, this encounter should be a highly exciting one.
