Chelsea confirm date for postponed Fulham fixture and Crystal Palace game moves

Chelsea's match against Fulham FC has been confirmed for January 12 and has seen the Blues' match against Crystal Palace moved back a day as a result. Graham Potter's side will now meet the Eagles on January 15.

The Chelsea boss was due to see his first match in charge of the club be against the Cottagers but the west London derby was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Premier League postponed the full weekend of fixtures at that time as a mark of respect.

As our longest-serving monarch, she has been an inspiration and leaves behind an incredible legacy following a life of dedication.
