Chelsea host Fulham tonight in the Premier League as Graham Potter’s side return to action following a two-week break.

Chelsea’s early exit from the FA Cup meant they have not played since the goalless draw at Liverpool, but the Blues remained busy in the transfer window.

The deadline day signing of Enzo Fernandez on a British transfer record deal took Chelsea’s January spending to over £300m, and the club will now look to improve upon their position of 10th in the table.

Fulham beat Chelsea 2-1 at Craven Cottage earlier this month and come into tonight’s West London derby two points above the Stamford Bridge club in the table.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What is the team news?

Chelsea are waiting to hear whether deadline-day record signing Enzo Fernandez will receive clearance in time to play against Fulham, which could leave Chelsea short in midfield with Jorginho having joined Arsenal on deadline day.

Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Raheem Sterling and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are available to return to the bench but are not yet ready to play 90 minutes, while Wesley Fofana is training with the rest of the squad.

Fulham manager Marco Silva will have his two new signings Cedric Soares and Sasa Lukic available to face their local rivals. However, with Lukic only arriving at the club 24 hours before the match, he may not be in contention for a starting spot. Neeskens Kebano remains on Fulham’s long-term injury list.
