Chelsea travel the short distance across Hammersmith and Fulham to Craven Cottage to face their neighbors in the West London derby. Fulham FC have a passionate dislike for Chelsea, mostly since Stamford Bridge is just a few measures on the wrong side of the Kensington and Chelsea borough boundary. The Blues don't feel the same concerning the Cottagers, since the music "We do not dislike you, 'cause you are.... Of low quality (sic )" shows. But, a at Stamford Bridge in the reverse fixture this season sent Chelsea sliding down the table, and they'll be trying to salvage some pride following a frustrating defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup during the weekend. The 40-point safety barrier has been broken by fulham with six games left to play, and with another time of top-flight basketball assured, they have little other than bragging rights to play for. Manager Rafa Benitez may most likely sleep people prior to the weekend visit to Anfield, so do not be amazed if Victor Moses and Marko Marin begin in place of Eden Hazard and Juan Mata. David Terry and Frank Lampard must get back, having both missed from a semifinal look against City, and Fernando "Zorres" will likely be the beginning striker. Probable Chelsea lineup versus. Fulham Ex-Chelsea guy Damian Duff was taken after 10 minutes of Fulham's 0-0 pull with Aston Villa this past weekend but may return for this derby, while Dimitar Betbatov will definitely be seeking to add to his tally of 13 targets to date this time. The Cottagers generally play a 4-4-1-1 formation, with their wingers providing most of the support for Berbatov. Chelsea will depend on their full-backs to counter this danger, and Cesar Azpilicueta will need to improve on his performance at Wembley to ensure they obtain the required effect. Any such thing but a gain won't be good enough for the Blues. Having lost their last two fits in all games, failing continually to beat their loud, however less successful, neighbors might vastly impact their chances of playing Champions League baseball in 2013-14. SkyBet are giving 5-6 on for a win, alongside a pull at 11-4 and a win at 3-1. The overall game begins at 8 p.m. GMT on Wednesday, April 17, and you are able to follow it the following on Bleacher Report.
