Preview: Chelsea vs. Fulham

Sports Mole previews Chelsea's home clash with Fulham in the Premier League.

Chelsea and Fulham clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening for the first West London derby of the season.

The hosts suffered a disappointing home defeat to Basel on Wednesday night and will be looking to bounce back in the league against their local rivals.

Fulham made the perfect start to their season with three points at Sunderland, but have failed to win in their three games since.

Blues manager Jose Mourinho has no injury or suspension concerns for the game, but could opt to drop one or two of the players who disappointed on Wednesday.

Dimitar Berbatov is expected to return from the injury he picked up against West Bromwich Albion, but Darren Bent and Bryan Ruiz will most likely miss out for the Cottagers.
