It's fair to say you still don't really know what you're getting with Chelsea these days.

Three wins on the bounce - two in the league and an FA Cup victory over Preston - made it five wins from six games and another potential 'season revival'.

Then they go and lose to Middlesbrough in midweek in the first leg of a Carabao Cup semi final.

There is a bit of steel surrounding them at home, though. That's six wins from their last seven at home, with only that incredible 4-4 draw with Manchester City blighting their recent record (if you can call it that...)

Fulham are in decent form themselves having beaten Arsenal before recording an FA Cup win over Rotherham last time out.

They're very much still in the hunt for a Carabao Cup final spot, losing their half time lead and going down 2-1 in the first leg at Liverpool.

Marco Silva's men can move a point behind their rivals if they secure a win at the Bridge.

But history is against them, with Chelsea winning nine of the last 11 derbies this pair have contested.

Fulham scored the opener at Anfield on Wednesday night to quiet the Reds in the first half.

They can do so again here, having show their quality in attack against Arsenal recently too.

Chelsea have only kept one clean sheet in their last six games, despite playing three bottom-half sides and two Championship clubs.

There's been 17 yellow cards in the last three competitive meetings between the sides.

And one red card - Joao Felix's infamous debut for the Blues at Craven Cottage.

An often feisty affair and Saturday should be no different - especially with VAR desperate to get involved!
