Is Fulham vs Chelsea on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League clash
Everything you need to know ahead of the top-flight encounter
Fulham and Chelsea are set to face each other in a Premier League match at Craven Cottage on Monday 24 August, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm BST. The English top flight debutants for both teams are Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, who are managing their respective clubs. The Blues have made significant investments this summer, including the signing of England's Morgan Rodgers from Aston Villa for £117 million.
Fulham, on the other hand, looks to improve upon their previous performance under Marco Silva, with Alvaro Arbeloa aiming to steer the team forward with Real Madrid's Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios.
Fulham will be without Tom Cairney due to a knee injury, while Fulham goalkeeper Joachim Andersen will serve the final match of his three-game ban for a red card against Bournemouth. Chelsea's Danny Welbeck faces a late fitness test, while Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha are both injured and unavailable. Wesley Fofana, like Andersen, will also serve a suspension due to a previous red card. Fulham's lineup is expected to include Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios making their Premier League debuts.
Chelsea's starting lineup includes a few key players such as goalkeeper Thibaut Sanchez, defender Marcos Lacroix, and striker Joao Pedro.
