Chelsea vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Chelsea head into Saturday’s West London derby with Fulham in good form, aiming to continue their unbeaten start to the season.

After a thumping 5-1 victory away at West Ham last weekend, Enzo Maresca’s side will be full of confidence. They will be looking to put on another show for the home crowd at Stamford Bridge, but the manager has a couple of key fitness concerns to manage.

Enzo Maresca’s primary concern is Cole Palmer, who is struggling with a groin injury and set to miss out again this weekend. His absence adds to a growing list of unavailable players. Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended, while Levi Colwill, Benoît Badiashile, and Roméo Lavia all remain on the injury list.

However, Maresca is expected to keep faith with the same attacking unit that performed so superbly in the 5-1 thrashing of West Ham. That means Liam Delap will lead the line, supported by the in-form trio of João Pedro, Pedro Neto, and Estêvão.

There is further good news in defence, where both Reece James and Wesley Fofana are now fully fit and provide strong, experienced options from the bench.

Chelsea Predicted Lineup

Chelsea predicted XI: Sánchez; Gusto, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo Fernández; Neto, João Pedro, Estêvão; Delap.
