Squad sheets: Chelsea v Fulham

Chelsea, so encouraged by their display in the draw at White Hart Lane on Thursday, will seek a return to winning ways after successive away draws. These sides have already collided here this season in the Carling Cup, when the hosts prevailed on penalties despite being reduced to 10 following the dismissal of Alex. They have defensive concerns again with Branislav Ivanovic hamstrung and David Luiz a doubt. The visitors must recover from their home drubbing to Manchester United, though a difficult afternoon awaits.
