Marc Cucurella Is Available Again | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Fulham | OneFootball

Chelsea failed to breach the Everton wall as they had to settle for a 0-0 draw in the Premier League. With this draw, Liverpool got the benefits as they increased the gap between the first position and the second position on the points table.

The Blues cannot afford to drop any point further if they wish to challenge for the league title. Their next game is scheduled against Fulham at home on Thursday. Anything less than three points would be an upset for Enzo Maresca’s side.

Defence

Robert Sanchez was Chelsea’s best player against Everton and is likely to keep his spot in the lineup. Right-back Axel Disasi wasn’t upto the mark and Malo Gusto could be used at his place.

Enzo Maresca must not have any complain with the centre-back duo of Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill. Hence, the pair remain intact for this fixutre. As Marc Cucurella is available again after the suspension, he will take up his left-back position.

Midfield

Though the Blues failed to clinch the game against the Toffees, midfielders Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez cannot be blamed. They did their part by covering a lot of ground and providing solidity in the middle of the park.

Noni Madueke might be preferred ahead of Pedro Neto on the right wing. However, Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho will continue to be part of the offensive pack.

Nicolas Jackson wasn’t clinical in front of the goal for the Blues and his position could be challenged by Christopher Nkunku.

Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile are unavailable. Notably, Romeo Lavia is close to returning but is unlikely to participate in this game. On the other hand, Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended after failing the drug test.
