Chelsea look to Raheem Sterling for Fulham clash as they seek to end goal drought

Chelsea's goalscoring issues are unlikely to be helped by the fact they head to west London rivals Fulham on Monday night (11pm UAE time) without a fit senior striker.

The Blues, who did manage a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton in the League Cup in midweek, haven't registered in their last three league games, losing twice and drawing once to sink to 15th place in the Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have found the net just five times in the league this season - only Burnley have scored fewer - with the absence of summer signing Christopher Nkunku keenly felt.

The France international is out until December, while Nicolas Jackson is suspended tonight after racing to five bookings and Armando Broja is not deemed fit enough to return.
