Given the occasion and the team’s injury situation, you might say that tonight’s starting lineup practically picks itself. It may be a midweek game, but unlike the last time we had a Premier League game in the middle of the week, this time there is no room for rotation. Fulham, after all, are a much tougher nut to crack than [Southampton](https://stmarysmusings.sbnation.com).
The [WAGNH Community](https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2024/12/24/24328708/how-should-chelsea-line-up-against-fulham-on-boxing-day) certainly prescribe to that line of thinking, with seven players receiving over 90 per cent of the vote and the only minor mystery being on the wings. But even there, both Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho get nearly two-thirds majority while their closest challenger, Noni Madueke, doesn’t quite reach even 50 per cent (44%).
João Félix and Christopher Nkunku, at 25% each, were the only others to get any decent amount of votes.
