Chelsea vs Fulham: Starting XIs for EPL clash confirmed | Full lists

The big news for Chelsea is that Enzo Fernandez goes straight into the team following his British-record £106.8m arrival from Benfica on Deadline Day.

The Argentine replaces Jorginho in Graham Potter’s midfield in one of three changes from Chelsea’s goalless draw with Liverpool two weeks ago.

There’s a notable absentee from the group in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is not included having been omitted from Chelsea’s Champions League squad earlier today.

Mykhailo Mudryk starts for the first time following his impressive cameo at Anfield, and there’s also a welcome return for Reece James following his injury lay-off.

Lewis Hall and Trevoh Chalobah drop out of the team, along with the departed Jorginho, while there are two new faces on the bench in Noni Madueke and David Datro Fofana.
