Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways when they return to Premier League action on Thursday evening against Fulham.
The Blues are currently in one of their worst runs of form, having lost six of their last nine games in all competitions, the most recent of which was a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City in the FA Cup. After losing to Manchester City, the Blues are out of all cup competitions except the Champions League.
