Chelsea will get the chance to show off more shiny new signings in a west London derby under the Stamford Bridge lights when they meet local rivals Fulham for the second time in three weeks.

The Blues were the Premier League's big spenders in January, forking out more than £300million on fresh faces, including £88m Mykhaylo Mudryk and British record signing Enzo Fernandez in a £107million deal. Joao Felix has also arrived on loan and was sent off on his Chelsea debut against Fulham in the defeat on January 12.

Meanwhile, the Cottagers have also been busy, though more modestly with their cash, signing Sasa Lukic, Shane Duffy and Cedric Soares in the final days of the January window to bolster Marco Silva's squad.

Here is all you need to know about the clash.

When is Chelsea vs Fulham?

The two sides will clash at Stamford Bridge on Friday February 3 with kick-off scheduled for 8pm.

It's just over three weeks since their last encounter, when Fulham ran out 2-1 winners over the 10-men of Chelsea following Felix's red card. The Portuguese forward had looked bright before then, as a goal from ex-Chelsea star Willian gave Fulham the lead before Kalidou Koulibaly levelled for the visitors.

Carlos Vinicius then struck the winner on 73 minutes - 15 minutes after Felix had been sent for an early bath for a bad tackle. He remains suspended for this fixture.

Team news

With Felix still out through suspension, it's a toss up between Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to lead the line for Chelsea, while Mudryk could make his full debut.

Fernandez is eligible to play after completing his deadline day switch but may not feature from the off due to only having limited training time with his teammates thus far.

Graham Potter has a tough task to keep all his players happy, though the Blues have a mountain of injury problems which have made his job somewhat easier in that respect. Of the notable absentees, Reece James could be back in contention, with Ben Chilwell is also nearing a return.

One player who could find himself frozen out of first-team plans is Hakim Ziyech, after the Moroccan agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain on loan, only for the deal to collapse due to a technical issue in the final hours of the window. It remains to be seen whether he forms part of Potter's plans for the rest of the campaign.

For Fulham, Silva has almost a clean bill of health to choose from, with Neeskens Kebano the only player ruled out, while his three new acquisitions are likely to be involved in some capacity.
