Chelsea pair Ben Chilwell and Benoit Badiashile are both fit again and will be involved against Fulham. Carney Chukwuemeka will be assessed, while Trevoh Chalobah is nearing a return but this game could be too soon. Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed has been struggling with illness but should be fit. Winger Adama Traore remains out with a hamstring problem and Fode Ballo-Toure, Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi are all away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Fulham have won just one of the past 23 Premier League meetings, 2-1 at home on 12 January last year (D8, L14). The Cottagers haven't won at Stamford Bridge in 18 league attempts since a 2-0 Second Division victory in October 1979 (D7, L11). Chelsea have only conceded one goal in their past eight competitive games against Fulham at Stamford Bridge, keeping clean sheets in the last five.
