Claudio Ranieri sacked by Fulham

Fulham caretaker boss Scott Parker faces Chelsea in a west London derby in his first game in charge.

The former midfielder took over the reins after a run of eight losses in nine matches brought about the sacking of Claudio Ranieri after just 106 days in charge.

Parker has a huge task in front of him, with the Cottagers, who sit second-bottom, still 10 points away from safety with the same number of games remaining.

Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea, meanwhile, will look to take advantage of the chaos at Craven Cottage, with recent displays and results having eased the pressures on their own Italian manager.

Despite the EFL Cup final loss to Manchester City last weekend and the incident involving goalkeeper Kepa, the Blues all but finished off Tottenham’s title chances with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

Fulham vs Chelsea kicks off at 2:05pm (GMT) on Sunday 3 March.
