Team News:

• Levi Colwill, Omari Kellyman, and Benoit Badiashile are injured, hence will not be in action for Chelsea. Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia might also sit out due to a lack of fitness.
• Fulham have all their players fit and ready to be in action.

Player(s) to watch:

• Joao Pedro has scored a goal and has bagged a couple of assists as well, in just two Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season. The 23-year-old Brazilian forward is going to play an important role for the Blues in the attacking front yet again. Pedro is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
• Raul Jimenez helped secure an easy win for Fulham in their EFL Cup match as he doubled the lead for his side. The 34-year-old is yet to find the net in the Premier League, but he is going to play a crucial part in the final third for the visitors. It will be interesting to see his performance against the Blues.
