It’s a London derby which closes this 7th day of the Premier League with Fulham welcoming Chelsea to Craven Cottage. The team led by Marco Silva is currently 12th in the standings with 8 points collected since the start of the season. The Cottagers remain on two matches without defeat, a success against Luton (1-0) and a draw at Crystal Palace (0-0). Opposite, the Blues are on the verge of crisis with a 15th place and only 5 small points on the clock, they have only won one match since the start of this 2023-2024 financial year. This meeting can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.
In terms of team compositions, Marco Silva organizes his starting lineup in 4-2-3-1. The Portuguese technician is a classic, Raul Jimenez is preferred to Carlos Vinicius at the forefront of the attack, Andreas Pereira makes his return to midfield. For the Blues, Mauricio Pochettino opts for a 4-3-3, Disasi starts as a right back with the absences of Gusto and James. In the middle, the expensive recruits Fernandez and Caicedo will support Gallagher. Finally in attack, Mudryk and Palmer will gravitate around Broja.
