Pedro is enjoying himself on the right wing. He's already had four touches in the box - one of them ending in a goal - and 51% of Chelsea's play has been down that side.

David Luiz finds Marcos Alonso on the left but his cross is cut-out by Denis Odoi. It's very comfortable for Chelsea at the moment. They are dominating possession and knocking on the door.

Tom Cairney turns brilliantly on the left-hand side and passes it into the feet of Calum Chambers, who has made a run into space on the top of the box.

The Fulham defender has space to shoot and he does, connecting well, but straight at Chelsea keeper Kepa.

Marcos Alonso tries to slip a ball through to N'Golo Kante on the left side of the box but the Chelsea midfielder is nudged out of the way by Denis Odoi.

Good defending.

Mateo Kovacic and Olivier Giroud try to combine on the edge of the box but the lifted return ball into Kovacic is bravely headed clear by Cyrus Christie.

The two players smash into each other and the referee briefly halts the game for what looked like a head injury to the Fulham defender.

He's fine though and Chelsea quickly re-gain possession.

A lovely, slick passing move from Chelsea ends in disappointing fashion as Marcos Alonso's lifted cross sails high and out for a throw-in on the right-hand side.

First corner of the match goes to Fulham but Stefan Johansen's cross is cut out. It comes back out to the Fulham midfielder and he plays it out to the right for Tom Cairney.

Chelsea defend another cross and look to counter down the right but this time Pedro can't find a teammate.

Kyle: Awful from Fulham that goal was so avoidable brilliant from Kante to win it back and set up Pedro for the opener. It’s going to be a very long afternoon for Fulham.

Chelsea have got some swagger about them now.

Pedro is seeing plenty of the ball on the right-hand side. Chelsea try to switch it out to the left but Olivier Giroud concedes a throw-in under pressure from Cyrus Christie.

50-50 possession in the early stages but there's only one stat that counts and Chelsea are ahead.

Cognizant: Pfft! Who’s bright idea was it to play Kante that far forwards?

That was Chelsea's 1000th goal at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Bright start here from Fulham!

Goalkeeper Sergio Rico has a nervous moment as he's pressed and hurried into an uncomfortable kick but he gets away with it.

Fulham are then able to run through midfield unchallenged but Cyrus Christie's shot is scuffed and it dribbles into Kepa's hands.

We're off. Can Fulham cause an upset in London?

Minutes to go until kick-off. Score predictions?

Chelsea bounced back from their first Premier League defeat of the season with a comfortable 4-0 win over 10-man PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday, setting them up nicely for this West London derby.

Fulham haven't beaten their neighbours for 12 years, but will make the short trip in better spirits after ending a run of seven straight defeats in all competitions with victory over Southampton.

It was Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge at Craven Cottage, and this weekend he returns to one of his former clubs, eager to improve Fulham's dismal away form. One point from a possible 21 on the road is a meagre return, but there are easier places to try to improve it than Stamford Bridge.
