Fulham vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news
Fulham host Chelsea tonight while they aim to extend their five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Marco Silva’s side enters the West London derby with confidence following a resilient 2-2 draw with Liverpool. The Cottagers have been formidable at home this season, amassing 17 points at Craven Cottage so far. Consequently, Silva will be looking to exploit Chelsea’s current state of flux as they prepare for a change in management.
Fulham Team News
Fulham continue to navigate a difficult period regarding player availability. Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze all remain unavailable as they continue their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Nigeria. Furthermore, the hosts are still without Josh King, Kenny Tete, and Rodrigo Muniz through injury.
However, there is positive news as Ryan Sessegnon is fit to return to the squad after overcoming a hamstring issue. Sander Berge is also poised for a return to the starting lineup to provide extra physicality in the midfield. Raul Jimenez is expected to lead the line, supported by Harry Wilson and Kevin, as Fulham look to secure their first league win over Chelsea since early 2023.
