Chelsea will be desperate to put together a good run of form, starting with their visit to Fulham in the Premier League. The Thursday night contest will be extremely difficult to call for obvious reasons. Chelsea are nowhere near their usual self and are lying far away from the Champions League places. On the other hand, Fulham are having a season to remember, as they are currently sitting above the Blues in the standings. Their impressive start to the season should give Fulham plenty of confidence of producing another upset.

Chelsea will continue to miss some important players for this match, while Fulham also have a notable absentee for this game. The loss of star centre-forward striker Aleksandar Mitrovic through suspension will be a big miss for the home side. Otherwise, they will only be without Neeskens Kebano. Meanwhile, Chelsea will be missing a lot of players through injuries.
Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic are the latest players to join a long list of injury absentees for the Blues. They will join Wesley Fofana, N’Golo Kante, Reece James, Edouard Mendy and Armando Broja on the sidelines. This could pave way for new signings Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana to be included in the game at some point.
Fulham possible line-up: Leno, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Reid, Pereira, Willian, Vinicius
Chelsea possible line-up: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Koulibaly, Silva, Cucurella, Kovacic, Zakaria, Jorginho, Mount, Havertz, Datro Fofana
