Fulham team
Fulham turned their Premier League fortunes around and got off to a positive start to life under Claudio Ranieri with a thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton last week.
The Cottagers looked like a totally different unit last week and the new manager should have a lot of positives to take from the win against Southampton.
However, Ranieri’s men will be up against it when they make the trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face London rivals Chelsea.
Chelsea’s twelve-game unbeaten run in the Premier League ended with a humiliating 3-1 defeat at the hands of Spurs and the onus will be on the Blues to claim all three points.
Kevin McDonald (hamstring) and Andre Zambo Anguissa (knock) are doubtful to feature on Sunday and their selection will be subject to a late fitness test.
There are no suspensions for Fulham and Ranieri will have the entire squad of players at his disposal for selection.
The Spaniard was hardly at fault for any of the goals last week and has been in good form between the sticks in recent weeks.
The Irishman showed a lot of improvement defensively and contributed with an assist in the last game.
He put in a solid shift at the back against Southampton and looked quite comfortable in possession.
He had a good time in the last game and Fulham will need him to continue his good work to keep Chelsea at bay on Sunday.
The Frenchman contributed with an assist in the last game and put in a pretty good shift at the back barring a poor clearance that led to a goal.
The Ivorian showed some signs of promise and looked good with his link-up play at times but he will need to improve significantly to have an impact against Chelsea on Sunday.
The former Arsenal man had a decent game against Southampton and looked calm and comfortable in possession.
The German got his name on the scoresheet against Southampton and he will need to deliver the goods against his former club if Fulham are to have any chances of upsetting the odds.
The youngster unleashed an inch-perfect pass to set up Schurrle with a moment of individual brilliance in the last game.
He looked much more comfortable in a No.10 role last week and created a few chances with his incredible vision.
The Serb starred with a brace against Southampton and he will need to fire on all cylinders if Fulham are to make a mark on Sunday.
