CHELSEA will be determined to keep their unbeaten run under Mauricio Pochettino going when they take on local rivals Fulham in the Premier League Summer Series finale.
Summer signing Nicolas Jackson earned the Blues a draw against Newcastle last time out.
And the result fired Chelsea to second in the Summer Series chart – only trailing Aston Villa on goal difference.
However, the Cottagers still have an outside competition of lifting silverware despite recently suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Villa.
But both managers will be more focused on how their team is shaping up ahead of the official 2023/24 Premier League campaign.
