Is Fulham vs Chelsea on TV today? Confirmed team news and predicted lineups

Chelsea are looking to get back to winning ways today as they travel to Craven Cottage for a west London derby against Fulham in the Premier League.

The Blues suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Legia Warsaw in the Conference League on Thursday, in a result which saw their players booed off the pitch despite their progression to the semi-finals of the European competition.

The second leg loss to Legia Warsaw followed Premier League draws against Ipswich Town and Bretford, with Chelsea having now won just one of their last four games across all competitions under Enzo Maresca.

Maresca’s side now face Fulham and will be desperate to clinch bragging rights against their west London rivals and boost their hopes of Champions League qualification for the 2025-26 campaign.

Chelsea have benefited from an injury boost ahead of the game at Fulham with Maresca confirming that Romeo Lavia is in contention to feature.

The Belgian midfielder has missed Chelsea’s last three Premier League games with a thigh problem.

‘Romeo is back,’ Chelsea head coach Maresca said in his pre-match press conference.

‘He is training with us and can be available for Sunday’s game. With him, we are going to try the same thing we are trying with Reece (James).

‘I would like to play Reece every three days, but we are trying to manage him to help him. We will try to do exactly the same thing with Romeo because, for us, he is an important player.’

Several players were rested for the match against Legia Warsaw last time out and look set to make their respective returns to the Chelsea XI.

‘We rested Enzo (Fernandez), Moi (Caicedo), Levi (Colwill), Noni (Madueke), Pedro (Neto),’ Maresca added. ‘We rested many players.’

‘We are, for sure, not happy about the Conference League result, but at the same time, we try to manage a little bit and rotate players.’

Chelsea will be without Wesley Fofana, Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu for the game against Fulham – who are all ruled out with injury.

Mykhailo Mudryk, meanwhile, remains suspended and will also play no part in today’s west London derby.

Fulham, meanwhile, are hoping to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth last time out.

Marco Silva’s side have Reiss Nelson ruled out with injury and it remains to be seen if Harry Wilson will be fit to make his return or not.

Predicted Chelsea XI to face Fulham

Sanchez, Cucurella, Colwill, Tosin, James, Caicedo, Fernandez, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, Jackson
