Chelsea are hoping to return to winning ways when they take on Fulham on Boxing Day. Enzo Maresca's side were held to a goalless draw at Everton on Sunday - denying them the chance to move to the top of the Premier League for the first time since 2021 - even if it would have only been for a couple of hours.
Instead, the Blues find themselves four points behind pace-setters Liverpool, who thrashed Tottenham 6-3 in the late kick-off on Sunday, having played a game more. Crucially, the Blues sit second, two points ahead of Arsenal in third and seven above fifth-place Bournemouth in the race for the top four.
As for Fulham, Marco Silva's side have been inconsistent over the past few weeks. They picked up six points across four matches against Tottenham, Brighton, Arsenal and Liverpool - but were then denied the chance to move up to seventh after they were held to a 0-0 draw with rock-bottom Southampton on Sunday.
It does feel as though the Whites have performed much better against the so-called 'big six' so far this season and, if they perform well, Chelsea could no doubt be in for another tough afternoon. Here, football.london takes a look at the TV details ahead of another huge game in the Premier League;
When is Chelsea vs Fulham
