Liam Rosenior will be interviewed for the Chelsea head coach job on Monday.

The Strasbourg boss remains the leading candidate for the role.

Chelsea want to move quickly to replace Enzo Maresca and an appointment could be made in time for their game at Fulham on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports.

Calum McFarlane took charge of Chelsea for their visit to the Etihad Stadium and guided his side to a 1-1 draw against Man City thanks to a late equaliser from Enzo Fernandez.

Speaking after the game, McFarlane said: "When I originally took over I was told I would take the Man City game and there's a chance the new manager might be in on Monday, that's what I was told originally.

"It's Sunday now, we've been solely focused on the game. For all I know, the new manager will be in shortly and I will lead the team until he's in."

Sky Sports News previously reported that Rosenior is the leading candidate for the role, with the club unlikely to pursue Oliver Glasner, Cesc Fabregas, Andoni Iraola or Roberto De Zerbi.

Rosenior played for Bristol City, Fulham, Reading, Hull City and Brighton during a 16-year playing career.
