LONDON (Reuters) - Fulham manager Scott Parker admits to hoping Chelsea are a little bit "off it" in Saturday's Premier League derby at Stamford Bridge when defeat for his side would be a hammer blow to their chances of avoiding relegation.

With five games remaining Parker's side are third-bottom of the table, seven points behind Brighton & Hove Albion, and he knows time is running out.
