Chelsea predicted XI against Fulham; Fernandez debut decision taken, Mudryk starts
Here we bring you the Chelsea predicted XI against Fulham; Enzo Fernandez debut decision taken, Mudryk starts, Kante in view, here is our full prediction.
Chelsea new signing could be seeing his debut today against Fulham and we have done our detailed analysis to ascertain who and who will be among the starting XI for Chelsea and here they are.
Thiago Silva will line up in central defence alongside Benoit Badiashile, who has impressed in his two outings following a winter move from Monaco. Marc Cucurella can then fill in at left-back, with Chilwell able to make his return from the substitutes’ bench.
There will be no N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Denis Zakaria due to injury while Jorginho departed on transfer deadline day for Arsenal. That may result in Fernandez coming straight into the starting XI despite having just one training session with his new teammates.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be used in a deeper role alongside the Argentine star; the 27-year-old is more suited to playing as a six than Conor Gallagher or Carney Chukwuemeka. Mason Mount can then be used as a link player between midfield and attack.
Mudryk’s exciting cameo against Liverpool at Anfield may be enough to earn him a start against Fulham. Kai Havertz will almost certainly be leading the line and despite a deadline day switch to Paris-Saint Germain falling through, Hakim Ziyech could keep his role on the right flank.
As for Enzo Fernandez, he will not be be playing in this match but will debut in the coming match.
Predicted Chelsea XI: Kepa; Chalobah, Silva, Badiashile, Cucurella; Loftus-Cheek, Fernandez; Ziyech, Mount, Mudryk; HavertzÂ
