Chelsea No2 Ray Wilkins expects a big test today against Fulham.

"It is very important that Fulham are doing so well," said Wilkins. "We will go there and they will be full of confidence after the result against Tottenham.

"But we had a good result as well and our away form has been very good. We just hope that can continue but it is going to be tough for us. Fulham won't lie down and allow us to do what we want to do. They will give us a bit of aggravation and that is what we expect.

"We will go there as best prepared as we can and put up a very good performance. They are our closest rivals so we actually want to put one over on them. But they will make it very tough for us."
