CHELSEA hope to put their huge January expenditure to use by getting revenge on local rivals Fulham in the Premier League.
The Blues have splurged around £200million this winter on their ever-growing squad.
But it still was not enough to break the deadlock at Anfield as Chelsea drew 0-0 with Liverpool last time out.
To make matters worse, West London neighbours Fulham sit above Graham Potter’s men in the table even after such a huge outlay.
And Marco Silva’s men will be oozing with confidence having got the better of their rivals already this season.

What is the team news?
Graham Potter has been hit with a injury crisis at Chelsea and is set to continue without N’Golo Kante, Denis Zakaria, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy and Armando Broja.
Trevoh Chalobah is a doubt and Joao Felix will face the remainder of his three-match ban.
Raheem Sterling and Wesley Fofana returned to first team training but they have both been predicted miss out on the Fulham fixture.
However, English duo Reece James and Ben Chilwell are reportedly ready to be included in the matchday squad.
Elsewhere, Marco Silva has no added injury concerns but the Fulham boss will be hoping Neeskens Kebano can recover from his Achilles tendon injury.
