Fulham make the short trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday for a tough West London derby against an in-form Chelsea side.
However, the visitors will be full of confidence, having started the season unbeaten with two league draws and a midweek cup win. They also took four points from their rivals last term, including a memorable 2-1 victory in this same fixture on Boxing Day.
Fulham XI vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news
Fulham team news
Marco Silva has a near fully-fit and confident squad to choose from for the trip to Stamford Bridge. Left back Ryan Sessegnon proved his fitness by starting the midweek Carabao Cup victory over Bristol City. Meanwhile, first-choice left-back Antonee Robinson has also returned to training after his knee issue. Sessegnon is more likely to start, given he has recent match minutes under his belt.
Rest, recover, be ready. 🔋

Silva also faces a positive selection headache up front. While Raúl Jiménez was on the scoresheet in the midweek Carabao Cup win, Rodrigo Muniz will hope to be recalled to the starting lineup, having scored in Fulham’s opening league fixture.
The attack will be supported by the creative duo of Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe, who have both started the season well. The manager has reported no new injury concerns.
Fulham Predicted Lineup
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Lukić; Castagne, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz.
