Chelsea will be hoping they can return to winning ways as they take on local rivals Fulham on Boxing Day. The Blues were held to a 0-0 draw with Everton last time out and lost ground on Premier League leaders Liverpool in the process.
Chelsea still have one of the division dangermen at their disposal, it must be said, with Cole Palmer bidding to build on his tally of 11 goals in the Premier League. His carefree style of play is not to be mistaken when it comes to racking up goal contributions either, with six to his name already.
As for Fulham, the Cottagers drew 0-0 with Southampton on December 22 with either side unable to find the back of the net. Marco Silva's side have amassed 25 points so far this season and are currently ninth in the table.
Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez have five goals a piece for Fulham this season and will no doubt be bidding to help their side cause a Boxing Day upset at Stamford Bridge.
