Saturday 2nd May Chelsea v Fulham, 15:00
Chelsea must be flying high after keeping a clean sheet this week against Barca, but equally Hiddink must be wary of avoiding injury / fatigue prior to the return leg on Wednesday. Hiddink has also ruled out winning the Premier League this season so is likely to rest many of the big names
Fulham on the other hand have a lot to play for. They are currently on course for the highest finish in their 130-year history (best to date was ninth place 2003-04) and a potential place in the third qualifying round for next season's Europa League.
Both teams are solid defensively – this season to date Fulham have only conceded 28 goals (fourth best Premier League record) and Chelsea only 20 (best record). Therefore unlikely to be a showpiece, but a lot for Fulham fans to be interested in.
