Following Sunday's 0-0 draw with champions Manchester City, Rafael Benitez's next chance to claim his first win as Chelsea manager will come during Fulham's visit to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
The weekend's result means that the Blues have now gone three Premier League fixtures at home without winning. They have not had a run of results like that since 2008.
Benitez may look to freshen his team up for Fulham's visit, with Victor Moses and Oriol Romeu thought to be pressing claims for a starting role.
Londoners Fulham have struggled for form on the road this season. They have only won once from seven away matches, conceding 16 goals in the process.
Irish winger Damien Duff should return to the starting lineup, while Dimitar Berbatov is expected to be fit enough to play up front.
