Fulham's Sidwell gears up for Chelsea clash

STEVE Sidwell insists he has got nothing to prove to former club Chelsea on Monday - but is more concerned about showing his worth to new boss Mark Hughes instead.

The midfielder spent a trophyless season at Stamford Bridge in 2007/8, making just seven league starts, before being shipped out to Aston Villa for £5million.

But his move to Villa Park did not work out either, prompting a switch to Craven Cottage in January.

The 28-year-old penned a short-term deal with the Whites until the end of the season, although there is an option to extend it until 2014.

He said: "I don't feel I've got anything to prove. It's one of those things in life where if it works out at a club then great, if it doesn't you just get your head down and move on.

"It didn't work out at Chelsea but I'm at Fulham now, and all I'm concerned about is putting in a performance for the fans and manager.

"Every training session and game is a trial for me. I've got to prove my worth to the manager and wait for discussions at the end of the season."
