Cole Palmer of Chelsea scores their sides first goal from the penalty spot past ful17during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Fulham FC at Stamford Bridge on January 13, 2024
Cole Palmer's penalty was all that separated Chelsea and Fulham last time out
Chelsea welcome Fulham to Stamford Bridge in the west London derby on Boxing Day.
Enzo Maresca's side have been in a rich vein of form, not tasting defeat since October. But Sunday's 0-0 draw away at Everton did see the Blues fall further behind league leaders Liverpool, who are now four points clear with a game in hand.
Their closest rivals have been enjoying a successful season themselves under Marco Silva, whose side also played out a stalemate at home against Southampton last weekend. It promises to be an entertaining spectacle at the Bridge.
And for fans in the UK, there's a way they'll be able to watch the Premier League clash for free. Sky Sports or TNT Sports are not broadcasting it like usual - so here's everything you need to know.
