Despite spending £320 million in January, Chelsea's new era got off to an uninspiring start in a goalless draw with west London rivals Fulham.

There was a palpable buzz before kick-off as Graham Potter threw caution to the wind and named both Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk in his attacking starting line-up for a west London derby under the Friday night lights.

The Chelsea faithful got in early to catch a glimpse of their new £106 million man, as well as Mudryk after his tantalising cameo against Liverpool a fortnight ago. Reece James' return only added to the buoyant mood.

Unfortunately, the match didn't deliver on the pre-game optimism.
