Confirmed Chelsea lineup vs Fulham as Armanda Broja, Marc Cucurella start, Raheem Sterling bench
Mauricio Pochettino has made four changes to his team to face Fulham with Armando Broja making his first start since returning from his ACL injury. The Blues striker has made appearances from the bench only so far this season, and has earned his start with Nicolas Jackson out of the clash due suspension having picked up five yellow cards this season.
Malo Gusto is also out fo the match with the Cottagers through suspension while Pochettino has another injury on his hands, with Ben Chilwell leaving the pitch late in the club's Carabao Cup win over Brighton. A hamstring injury is set to keep him out.
Robert Sanchez once again starts in goal with Marc Cucurella keeping his place in the side along with Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill. Thiago Silva returns to the lineup having been rested from the squad against the Seagulls.
Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher return to the starting XI to play alongside Moises Caicedo. The midfield duo came off the bench in the cup to help see out the Blues' progression just under a week ago.
Mykhailo Mudyrk continues his run in Chelsea's side too and is set to play off the left, while Cole Palmer makes his first Premier League start for the Blues on the opposite flank. The pair will support Broja in attack.
