Calum Chambers
And there we have it! Where oh where was the Chelsea defence, as Fulham play a corner short, Ryan Babel puts a cross in which clears the mass of bodies in the middle and finds Calum Chambers totally clear at the back post. He has so much space and buries the volley, hitting it down into the turf and then in.
The players all rush over to celebrate with Scott Parker. Telling?

And as soon as I say that Fulham are close to equalising! What a very good save this is too from the recalled Kepa Arrizabalaga!
Ryan Sessegnon's cross is deflected, Aleksandar Mitrovic gets in a left-footed volley which is going top corner until Kepa gets a big hand on it!
Fulham 0-1 Chelsea
Chelsea are well on top now, they are keeping the ball for fun, popping it around at pace. Fulham can't get on the ball at all.
FT: Watford 2-1 Leicester
Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to Match of the Day: "I thought after going behind so early we regrouped and had some good moments. At half-time we reinforced about some issues around the speed of our game but I thought the play was excellent. It looked like only one team would win the game. When we had an opportunity it was a great pass from Youri (Tielemans) and Jamie (Vardy) does what he does. You felt Watford were getting deeper and the opportunities were coming for us. We started to get into really good areas and the goal at the end is a case of managing the game. It is something that will get better as we work together. I was pleased with the spirit of the team.
"Performance-wise it was something new for the players and they worked very, very well. It will take time to impose a lot of the ideas we want. There were a lot of good signs. I was pleased despite not getting the result.
"I thought some of the intensity of our pressing was good. We did a lot of things well. It gives me great hope going forward.
"I loved every minute. It has been a great week working with the players. I said whatever the result, for me I only wanted to see spirit and intensity and I saw that. It gives us a great opportunity to go forward and build on some of the good points from today."
Fulham 0-1 Chelsea
Has that opening goal punctured the Fulham mood? It's the away fans making all of the noise now.
Fulham 0-1 Chelsea
Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 Live:
Willian just played a simple pass to Azpilicueta, the sharpness of the run from Higuain was sensational. An unbelievable finish from Higuain, first time on the volley. Fulham can't get near Jorginho in midfield.

Image source, ReutersFulham have not got tight enough to Gonzalo Higuain all game so far and at the third attempt he makes them pay. A lovely finish too, clinical.
Willian plays in Cesar Azpilicueta on the overlap, the captain picks out a precise low cross which Higuain doesn't have to break stride to meet and he steers a volley past Sergio Rico and in.
Fulham 0-0 Chelsea
It was definitely wind-assisted, that Kepa error.
Fulham 0-0 Chelsea
Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 Live:
Unbelievable how lucky Kepa was. He lost it either in the wind or lost the trajectory of the ball. Ryan Babel completely switched off, or it could have been a lot worse for Chelsea.

Ryan Babel would have had a tap in but he was looking the opposite way...
Fulham 0-0 Chelsea
Superb from Jorginho, pinging a first-time pass clean over the top of the Fulham defence for Gonzalo Higuain to run on to but the Argentine can't quite gather it in. Brilliant pass though.
Fulham 0-0 Chelsea
Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 Live:
The attitude from the Fulham players has been very good early on. Scott Parker would have said to them make sure you keep a clean sheet in the first 15 or 20 minutes and go from there.
Everton v Liverpool (16:15 GMT)
Image source, BBC SportBBC Radio 5 Live's Gary Flintoff at Goodison Park: "It is a rather damp day for the derby on Merseyside. No need to water the pitch before kick-off, although they probably will. The few Everton fans I have already encountered are nervous, but so are the Liverpool fans. It’s always that way on derby day in these parts."
Fulham 0-0 Chelsea
Ryan Sessegnon is too quick and strong for Jorginho, twice in fact. He beats him down the left and has a low cross well cleared.

Sarri has absolutely bottled it there. One game on the bench for one of the most disrespectful things I have seen since I started watching football as a kid. Ferguson would have thrown some boots at Kepa, stuck him in the reserves and sold him in the summer. Managers have no authority in this day and age.

Fulham have definitely been brighter in this opening 10 minutes, the last few games under Claudio Ranieri had a doomed feeling about them. Pretty even game at the moment, the hosts pressing and working hard.
Fulham 0-0 Chelsea
You can see why Fulham have shipped so many goals as for the second time in eight minutes they leave Gonzalo Higuain in space inside the area. This time he's slow to get a shot off and he's well tackled in the end by Havard Nordtveit.

Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 Live:
Great play from Fulham, Azpilicueta is going absolutely ballistic at Emerson because he didn't stay with his player. Everyone in the stadium thought Cairney was going to score.
Watford 2-1 Leicester
Watford goalscorer Troy Deeney, speaking to Sky Sports: "Based on possession and keeping the ball Leicester deserve it, but we were more potent especially in the first half. We are a threat going forward we always look like we will score.
"I gave referee Jon Moss a bit of stick as he didn’t give me one foul out of about 400! But it is a tough job and the referee had a decent game. I don’t care as long as we win.
"We aren’t happy to win just one and lose three, we want to finish as high as we can. We want to make sure we finish as high as we can. The media have said after January there will be a Watford meltdown.
"Egos are out of the window, everyone is trying, look at the depth of the squad, everyone is willing to fight."

Image source, Getty ImagesFulham's first attack is a good one! Ryan Babel puts in a good low cross, Tom Cairney's shot is superbly blocked by Cesar Azpilicueta and Joe Bryan bends a 20-yarder wide.
The fans are on their feet, they enjoyed that.
