| MATCH BETTING ODDS - CHELSEA v FULHAM |
Both of these sides are almost where they want to be, but both know that if they slip up again, they could end the season in disappointment.
Chelsea moved up to third in the Barclaycard Premiership on Bank Holiday Monday by thrashing Everton 4-1, and Champions League football is within their grasp. However, Claudio Ranieri has been at Stamford Bridge long enough to know not to take anything for granted.
"I'm not drinking champagne yet," the Italian said. "I know football and I know it's difficult in the league. Something's never done until it's done. Given Chelsea's uncanny ability to snatch failure from the jaws of success, he would do well to maintain this caution. Their defeat to Aston Villa last Saturday showed that they are still prone to disasters.
There have been plenty of those at Fulham this season, and caretaker manager Chris Coleman suffered another on Tuesday night when they lost to Leeds United. Having beaten Newcastle on Saturday to end a miserable run of form, it had seemed like Fulham had avoided being dragged into relegation trouble, but this latest defeat has sown the seeds of uncertainty at the club again. "We have still a lot of work to do," said Coleman on Tuesday night. "We have three massive games coming up and like Leeds we are not out of it. We need a result from somewhere.
When the sides met back in September, at Loftus Road they drew 0-0, The Cottagers would probably take another 0-0 draw as long as it helps them stay in the top flight how ever Fulham should find it hard to prevent The Blues from bagging another three points.
