If Martin Jol isn't already sacked, then he probably will be by the end of the City game. Here's a list of five players that can lift Fulham out of the relegation zone and into safety:

Chelsea are famous for being very strict and blunt with players and staff. If you're under performing or not part of the plans then you're off. With that in mind, it's highly likely that Chelsea will either sell or loan out players to reduce their squad size and introduce the reserve players if they have to. I haven't listed them as being sold because I could only see one or two players that could be which isn't much of a list in all honesty:
