Chelsea are hoping to return to winning ways when they take on Fulham on Boxing Day. Enzo Maresca's side were held to a goalless draw at Everton on Sunday - denying them the chance to move to the top of the Premier League for the first time since 2021 - even if it would have only been for a couple of hours.

Instead, the Blues find themselves four points behind pace-setters Liverpool, who thrashed Tottenham 6-3 in the late kick-off on Sunday, having played a game more. Crucially, the Blues sit second, two points ahead of Arsenal in third and seven above fifth-place Bournemouth in the race for the top four.

As for Fulham, Marco Silva's side have been inconsistent over the past few weeks. They picked up six points across four matches against Tottenham, Brighton, Arsenal and Liverpool - but were then denied the chance to move up to seventh after they were held to a 0-0 draw with rock-bottom Southampton on Sunday.
