Manchester City - Chelsea 0:4 (FA Cup) (Sport1)
After the cup and league cup games in England in the last few days, the Premier League returns with a make-up game from the seventh round - a London derby between Fulham and the crashing Chelsea.
Chelsea have already slipped to 10th in the league following a single win in the last eight rounds and are 10 points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United, who qualify for next season's Champions League.
Mason Mount returned to the line-up in the cup and kept his place also in the meeting at Craven Cottage.
Young Lewis Hall stepped up at left-back, with the main story being Joao Felix's placement in the 11, just one training session after signing for the Blues.
On the other hand, Fulham won all the last three games in the league and jumped to seventh place, so even the fans of the newcomer are already fantasizing about a ticket to one of the UEFA factories next season. Aleksandar Mitrovic, the undisputed star who scored 11 league goals this season, is absent due to accumulating five Yellow cards, with Vinicius coming on in his place. Manor Solomon came off the bench for the last 14 minutes of Saturday's cup win over Hull City, reportedly his first minutes since injuring his knee at the start of the season, and will now hope to make his second league appearance while on the bench for the Londoners.
Will wait for minutes from the bench.

2nd minute:
A wonderful individual move by Joao Felix followed by a cross from the Portuguese to Kai Hubertz who was blocked, Lewis Hall kicked the rebound which was brilliantly stopped by Brand Leno.
