Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Fulham

Chelsea will be looking to put their disappointing Premier League form behind them when they make the trip to London rivals Fulham on Saturday.

The Blues have won just one of their last six top-flight outings, losing four of those in a run that has seen them slip down the division.

Frank Lampard's men did see off Morecambe 4-0 in the FA Cup third round last time out, though, and will have a full week's rest between matches.

Chelsea have no players suspended for this London derby.
