Fulham vs Chelsea Lineups and updates

Lineups and updates for Fulham vs. Chelsea

In the neighbourhood rivalry on Thursday night, the recently promoted Fulham, who are having a wonderful season, will be hoping to defeat their more illustrious neighbours.

The Cottagers have demonstrated their talent under manager Marco Silva, moving up to seventh position in the Premier League rankings. In the third round of the FA Cup, they defeated Hull City 2-0, extending their winning streak to four games. Given their stature and the apparent quality disparity between the two teams, Chelsea should have won this match. However, things have changed considerably this year, therefore Fulham will enter this match confident that they can earn all three points.

Graham Potter, Chelsea's manager, is now under intense criticism from the Stamford Bridge faithful after the team's promising start under his leadership turned into a complete disaster.

The West Londoners lost to the defending English Champions Manchester City in both cup tournaments, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, and have since fallen to last place in the Premier League.

The Blues have historically been top-four regulars, but as we enter the second half of the season, they are now 10 points behind fourth-place Manchester United. The Blues presently occupy tenth position in the league rankings ahead of their match against Fulham on Thursday night this weekend.

After spending a lot of money in the winter transfer market, Graham Potter and company will be looking to tie together a few successful Premier League performances to launch an aggressive ascent up the table and pursue top-four positions.

Chelsea vs. Fulham lineups have been determined.

Leno, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Palhinha, Reed, De Cordova-Reid, Pereira, Willian, and Vinicius make up the Fulham XI (4-2-3-1).

Kepa; Chalobah; Silva; Koulibaly; Azpilicueta; Zakaria; Kovacic; Hall; Felix; Havertz; Mount; make up Chelsea's starting lineup (3-4-3)

The future games for Chelsea

Beginning at home against Crystal Palace in another cross-London rivalry, Chelsea has a difficult conclusion to the month of January. Then, on January 21, they must travel to Anfield to take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, another faltering superpower.
