New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior will watch on from the stands as the Blues make the short trip to face Fulham in a midweek west London derby in the Premier League at Craven Cottage in south-west London.
After masterminding an against-the-odds draw at the Etihad on Sunday, interim boss Calum McFarlane will once again step into the dugout as he looks to end his spell in charge of the side unbeaten. He will hand the first team over to newly appointed Rosenior on Thursday morning.
Chelsea’s form has faltered of late amid their ongoing managerial turnover – they visit Fulham having won just one of their last eight League outings. Marco Silva, then, will know that another derby upset is well within reach.
He has not achieved that feat since pulling off a late turnaround at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day last season, courtesy of Harry Wilson’s 82nd-minute equaliser and Rodrigo Muniz’s 95th-minute winner.
The Cottagers are in fine form, too, unbeaten in their last five League outings. They will be after revenge in this match, though, after falling to a controversial 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
