Fulham predicted line-up vs Chelsea

Fulham are expected to name an unchanged line-up from their defeat at home to Tottenham.

The west Londoners will be hoping Aleksandar Mitrović can get back on the score sheet at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Silva’s usual backline will need to be very strong on Friday to keep Chelsea’s new attacking talents at bay.
