Cyrus Christie is allowed to run through the middle and shoot. It takes a deflection on the way and Fulham win a corner on the left-hand side.

It's swung into the near post and out for a goalkick.

The biggest challenge for Claudio Ranieri is that he's got to find his best XI. He's changed systems, he's changed personnel.

Fulham push forward again and Aboubakar Kamara has an audacious pop from distance. He catches it sweetly but it's always rising and sails way over the bar.

Jeers from the home fans...

N'Golo Kante charges through the middle but his pass out right to Pedro is a little heavy. The Chelsea winger keeps it in play and his cross is deflected out for a corner.

Cesar Azpilicueta plays it short to Eden Hazard and Chelsea play 'keep ball.'

The second goal's knocked Fulham out of their stride.

Second half they've done well and, overall, it's a massive improvement. It shows that Claudio Ranieri has a side that can come to places like Chelsea and cause problems.

Cyrus Christie's cross from the right is headed down by Aleksandar Mitrovic in the box but none of his teammates can get on the end of it.

Fulham retain possession though and Cesar Azpilicueta concedes a throw-in on the right wing.

Corner to Fulham...

Jean Michael Seri's cross is a little too high for Aleksandar Mitrovic but Fulham win a throw-in on the far side.

It's amazing how Ruben Loftus-Cheek has had such little game time at Chelsea.

Rob Alderman: Ruben Loftus-Cheek deserves a run of starts over Christmas. Surely done enough.

What a difference Ruben Loftus-Cheek has made. He's added a bit of spice in midfield and his hustling wins Chelsea a throw-in on the left wing.

The home supporters give him a rousing round of applause as the ball comes to N'Golo Kante on the edge of the box before it's nicked away from him at the last minute.

Aleksander Pagels: Fulham might lose today but they are already more solid under Ranieri, with Jokanovic in charge even an average Chelsea side would have been gifted four goals.

Game over. It's well played Chelsea and it's made by Eden Hazard, who's the master of it.

When you need someone with a cool head, Ruben Loftus-Cheek shows it. He showed last season at Crystal Palace that he's more than capable of getting a goal.

Pedro takes it off Alfie Mawson and dangerously runs at the defence before Denis Odoi comes across to mop things up.

Fulham, who have defended so well in this second half, look down and out now.

Fulham immediately look for a response but Jean Michael Seri's shot from distance is comfortably saved by Kepa.

Some managers won't do that to a senior player but no, it's straight off and he (Maurizio Sarri) makes the change.

He will have a go but it's not a good one. It's straight down the middle and into the hands of Fulham keeper Sergio Rico.

Eden Hazard is wrestled to the floor by Cyrus Christie and Chelsea have a free-kick in another nice area outside the box.

This one is a little closer too. Will Hazard have a go?

Tim: Chelsea seem to wait to concede a goal before raising the intensity! So frustrating to watch!

Marcos Alonso has struggled today and he's being replaced by Davide Zappacosta, who is making just his second Premier League appearance for Chelsea this season.
