Chelsea Fc takes on Fulham Fc in the london derby on saturday the first of march. Chelsea are currently leading tje barclays premier league by a solitary point and with Manchester city facing suderland in the F.a cup on sunday and arsenal facing a difficult match at stoke city this may be an incredible opportunity for chelsea to stretch their lead at the top of the table but with "the special one", Jose Mourinho complaining about the fixture list and players being tired you just can not take anything for granted.
Chelsea come into this match on the back of an away draw at the turk telecom arena in the champions league and know that anything less that an outright win would probably see them lose their short-lived grip at the top of the EPL pile. Fulham are currently propping up the rest of the league in 20th position and this match represents a David vs Goliath battle of sorts as it is top versus bottom but this is a derby match and just about anything could happen.
Expect Jose to shuffle his team in a bid to keep the squad fresh, this match should also mark the return of Matc to the squad after his enforced absence from the Galatasary match due to his ineligibility.
Probable lineup: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Matic, Ramires, oscar, Hazard, Willian, Torres.
Predicted scoreline: Fulham 1 - 3 Chelsea
