Fulham vs Chelsea LIVE – Kick-off time, TV channel, team news, live ...
Hello and welcome to football.london's live coverage of Fulham versus Chelsea. The Blues make the short trip to Craven Cottage this evening as Mauricio Pochettino looks to build on a rare win on Wednesday evening.
Chelsea scored their only goal of September through Nicolas Jackson against Brighton last week to ensure their progress into the next round of the Carabao Cup. Now, it is imperative for the Blues to try and translate that encouraging performance and result into the Premier League as they face a tough Fulham outfit tonight.
However, Chelsea will have to do that without Ben Chilwell, who is now set for a spell on the sidelines after limping off in his side's win against Brighton. The England international will definitely miss the game this evening but the club are yet to release the timescale.
Chilwell joins the likes of Benoit Badiashile, Marcus Bettinelli, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia on the injury list. Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke, though, are now close to returning to action and could be in the squad this evening.
Whether or not they start, though, is a different question. You can follow all of the coverage with Bobby Vincent and Scott Trotter from Craven Cottage in our dedicated live blog below.
