Chelsea vs Fulham Confirmed Lineups for Premier League Tie

Chelsea Team News

Rob Sanchez starts in goal with a back line of Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Marc Cucurella. Moises Caicedo partners Enzo Fernandes in the defensive midfield positions with Joao Pedro, Estevao, and Pedro Neto supporting Liam Delap up front.

Notable Changes

Unchanged from Enzo Maresca as he keeps the setup that battered West Ham 5-1. No Reece James is surprising, but he is on the bench with Wesley Fofana who is continuing his recovery after a long injury.

Fulham Team News

Bernd Leno starts in goal with a back line of Timothy Castagne, Kenny Tete, Calvin Bassey, and Joachim Andersen. Sander Berg features with Ryan Sessegnon, Sasa Lukic, Josh King, Alex Iwobi, and Rodrigo Muniz.

Notable Changes

A lot of chopping and changing from the cup tie in midweek with lack of full backs still rearing its head and likely forcing Bassey to left back. Whatever system is used here there will be a weakness at the wide defensive positions and Antonee Robinson remains on the bench.
