Mauricio Pochettino’s side know only a win will do if they are to keep their top-four hopes alive, but recent form suggests it may not be straightforward.
The Blues have won just three of their last six league matches, and with two draws in that run, they’ve left precious points on the table.
At this stage of the season, one point simply isn’t enough.
Adding to the pressure is Fulham’s knack for upsetting the big names.
Their recent 3-1 dismantling of Liverpool at Craven Cottage sent shockwaves through the league and underlined the threat they pose, particularly at home. If Chelsea aren’t sharp, they could suffer a similar fate.
For Fulham, this is more than just a local rivalry it’s an opportunity to leap into the European conversation themselves.
A win over Chelsea would not only boost morale but also close the gap to the top seven, depending on other results.
Marco Silva’s side have been unpredictable this year, but when they click, they’re a real handful.
The Liverpool win proved that, and with two big home wins in recent weeks, there’s growing confidence at the Cottage.
The challenge, as always, lies in consistency, something they’ve struggled to find across the season.
Goals will be crucial, and Fulham know they can’t afford to be wasteful in front of goal if they want to upset their neighbours.
Chelsea are expected to be well rested going into this derby.
Their midweek European tie against Legia Warsaw carries little significance, giving Pochettino the chance to rotate and keep his main players fresh for the weekend.
They remain the stronger side on paper, but their recent vulnerability against mid table teams makes this far from a guaranteed three points.
