How Chelsea could line up against Fulham

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Chelsea could line up for Sunday's friendly clash with Fulham.

Chelsea attacker Noni Madueke will need a once-over before the Blues face Fulham in Sunday's friendly at FedEx Field in Maryland.

The former PSV Eindhoven youngster missed Wednesday's 1-1 stalemate with Newcastle United due to a tight hamstring, although Mauricio Pochettino does not believe that he is nursing anything serious.

Nevertheless, Madueke will require careful assessment before the Blues take to the turf this weekend, while Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill also sat out the stalemate with Eddie Howe's side as precautions.

The duo ought to have a good chance of earning some minutes on Sunday, and Colwill could even be given the nod to join Trevoh Chalobah in the backline, as Bashir Humphreys drops down to the bench.

Kepa Arrizabalaga should retain possession of the gloves, while the fresh legs of Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell could be preferred to Reece James and Marc Cucurella in the wide areas.

Enzo Fernandez will likely be given the nod as Chelsea's senior midfielder, potentially alongside Andrey Santos and Carney Chukwuemeka if Cesare Casadei is granted a well-earned rest.

Fresh from scoring for the second game running, Nicolas Jackson should keep his place in the final third alongside Christopher Nkunku and Ian Maatsen, who have also made their presence felt in pre-season.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Kepa; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Chilwell; Santos, Fernandez, Chukwuemeka; Nkunku, Jackson, Maatsen
