Fulham vs Chelsea: Premier League preview

Fulham manager Marco Silva is understandably in the spotlight with another prestigious but poisoned top job now open at Manchester United. For now, he'll be plotting a way to take advantage of Chelsea's flux.

The Cottagers are right in the thick of the Premier League's condensed middle. They started the week in the bottom half but would go level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea if they beat them.

Silva has his team primed to pick up results. They drew their last two league fixtures but won the three before that, seeing off three of the bottom four without fuss. Harrison Reed's extraordinary equaliser earned them a home point against Liverpool on Sunday.

Fulham are thriving despite the absence of three key players. Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze and Calvin Bassey all featured in Nigeria's 4-0 win over Mozambique to book an Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Algeria on Saturday.

Fulham hospitality offers a premium matchday with superb padded seating and access to exclusive lounges, bars, or terraces. Packages feature curated gourmet dining, a complimentary drinks package (beer, wine, soft drinks), the official matchday programme, and fast-track stadium entry, providing a comfortable and refined viewing experience.

Rosenior will be watching intently at the stadium where he first played in the Premier League. The former Fulham defender takes over a Chelsea team in fifth place but within kicking distance of the seven teams beneath them.

The Blues hierarchy will expect immediate results and the continuation of Chelsea's involvement in the Champions League both this season and next, so putting right a four-game winless stretch will be the first order of business.

Calum McFarlane, Chelsea's Under-21 coach, oversaw a respectable draw against Manchester City and confirmed on Tuesday that he'll be in the dugout again before Rosenior steps in for the FA Cup game at the weekend.

The new boss will see his first six matches in the league as winnable. The seventh, at the start of March, will be away at Arsenal. That's a yardstick fixture in anyone's money.
