Predicted Chelsea lineup (4-3-3) to face Fulham, Giroud and Barkley start

Chelsea will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they entertain Fulham in their first west London derby since 2014.

The Blues have managed to accumulate just one point from their previous two league games but they should fancy getting the better of Fulham, who have the leakiest defence of the campaign.

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Lineup:

Kepa Arrizabalaga had a game to forget against Spurs last weekend but that does not place any concerns over his position between the sticks. He should feature in goal for another London derby.

In the defence, no changes are expected from last time around and this should witness Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso on the right and left side of the backline with Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz occupying the central defensive positions.

Similarly, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are assured of their spots in the central midfield department and they could be accompanied by Ross Barkley with Mateo Kovacic struggling to make an impression in recent games where he has started.

Upfront, Eden Hazard has returned to training after the recent knock and he should occupy the left wing with Willian probably featuring on the opposite flank. Olivier Giroud could earn a rare Premier League start after netting three goals from his previous two games in all competitions.
