Preview: Chelsea Vs Fulham
The Blues failed to score for the first time this season against Everton in the last match.
In a thrilling Boxing Day contest, Chelsea are set to take on London rivals Fulham on Thursday. This match will take place in the Stamford Bridge where they are unbeaten this season.
Chelsea are having a remarkable season so far under Enzo Maresca who will be delighted with the way his team is performing at the moment. However, for the first time this season, his side were held to a goalless draw against Everton in the last match. Although they are playing down the title race, the Blues are in it and are four points shy of second place. With the Boxing Day fixture very crucial, it remains to be seen how they bounce back here.
Meanwhile, Fulham on the other hand are languishing in the ninth spot in the Premier League. The Cottagers are unbeaten in the last five matches gathering four draws and one win. After their encouraging 2-2 draw against table toppers Liverpool, they were held to a goalless draw against Southampton in the last match. Despite having far better chances, they were unable to break through against the relegation outfit which will be a big concern heading into this match.

About Premier League:
History
The Premier League is a private company wholly owned by its 20 Member Clubs who make up the League at any one time.
Each individual club is independent, working within the rules of football, as defined by the Premier League, The FA, UEFA and FIFA, as well as being subject to English and European law.
Each of the 20 clubs are a Shareholder in the Premier League. Consultation is at the heart of the Premier League and Shareholder meetings are the ultimate decision-making forum for Premier League policy and are held at regular intervals during the course of the season.
The Premier League AGM takes place at the close of each season, at which time the relegated clubs transfer their shares to the clubs promoted into the Premier League from the Football League Championship.
Clubs have the opportunity to propose new rules or amendments at the Shareholder meeting. Each Member Club is entitled to one vote and all rule changes and major commercial contracts require the support of at least a two-thirds vote, or 14 clubs, to be agreed.
The Premier League Rule Book, contained within the Handbook (Download: Premier League Handbook; PDF 18.2MB), serves as a contract between the League, the Member Clubs and one another, defining the structure and running of the competition.
Any serious breach of the Rule Book results in an independent three-person tribunal sitting to hear the case, ascertain guilt and set the punishment, which can range from fines to points deductions and, in extreme cases, expulsion from the competition (this has never happened in the history of the Premier League).
At the Premier League's AGM in June 2022, an Owners' Charter was agreed by Clubs. The Owners and Directors of the Member Clubs are custodians of those organizations and will uphold the spirit of the Charter's commitments.
