Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Chelsea Team News:
Palmer’s groin injury appears not to be as serious as first thought after a scan. However he is still a doubt to start GW3. This is obviously a key one to watch as the week progresses and as soon as Maresca speaks on Palmer, we will update you.
Tosin has returned to team training after missing out in GW1 and then started in GW2 after Maresca stated that he was his favourite choice to replace Colwill and replicate the skill set he wants for his LCB. Acheampong impressed in GW1 and is more talented than the older Tosin, and Chelsea kept a clean sheet against a good Palace team. However Maresca prefers Tosin and his skillset as his Colwill replacement.
Jackson has returned from his ban, but with his Chelsea career reportedly over and on the verge of leaving the club, and Joao Pedro and Delap both started against West Ham last Friday in a 5-1 win. He is still set to leave the club this summer.
Estevao started and registered an assist against West Ham in GW2 after impressing off the bench in GW1. It is safe to assume he and Neto will start on the wings once again although Gittens is a factor.
Reece James cannot and does not play more than 1 game a week. That is why he did not start last week with only 6 days between Chelsea’s GW1 and GW2 games. He should be ready to start against Fulham in GW3.

Fulham Predicted Lineup:
Fulham Team News:
Sessegnon and Robinson returned to the match-day squad in GW2 against Man United, with Sessegnon fit enough to start and Robinson making an appearance off the bench and picking up where he left off last season delivering the key assist to Smith-Rowe to equalise.
Robinson will start in GW3.
Sessegnon did start games at RW last season when Fulham had injuries. It will be interesting to see if Harry Wilson gets that RW spot back, after an impressive pre-season and key cameos off the bench last season, or whether Sessegnon might make that spot his own with Robinson now back fit to start at left-back.
Young Josh King started in the number 10 role ahead of Pereira and Smith-Rowe in GW1 and GW2 and played fairly well. He is clearly a young player Silva believes in prefers in that role ahead of Smith-Rowe and Pereira as things stand. A £4.5m Midfielder in FPL starting in an attacking role will certainly have people talking.
Muniz has simply been too impressive and productive in small samples, last season and in GW1 where he calmly took the last minute equalising goal fantastically well. He then did start in GW2 against United. He looks to be Fulham’s starting striker moving forward.
