Big-spending Chelsea can leapfrog their west London rivals Fulham in the Premier League standings with a win at Stamford Bridge. 

Graham Potter's side are languishing in 10th place despite splashing out hundreds of millions on new signings over the last six months.

But they can jump up to sixth ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures with a win over a Fulham side that is coming off back-to-back league defeats. 

Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
