Fulham and Chelsea announce their starting lineups for Sunday's West London derby at Craven Cottage.

Fulham and Chelsea have announced their starting lineups for Sunday's West London derby at Craven Cottage.

After the Blues lost 2-1 to Legia Warsaw in the Conference League on Thursday, Enzo Maresca was always likely to make alterations to his team.

Only four players have retained their places in the first XI with Reece James, Marc Cucurella, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson being selected.

Jackson will be deployed down the middle of the attack, Christopher Nkunku dropping out of the side and not even featuring on the substitutes' bench.

With Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez starting in midfield, Reece James reverts to right-back in what is a rare two starts in the space of less than 72 hours.

Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill have gotten the nod in the centre of defence, while Romeo Lavia is a welcome returnee to the bench after only making one appearance since the middle of January.

Silva makes two changes to Fulham team

Meanwhile, Marco Silva has reacted to Fulham's 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Monday night by making two changes to his starting lineup.

Kenny Tete has been handed a return at right-back, while Raul Jimenez returns down the middle of the attack.

Timothy Castagne and Rodrigo Muniz are the duo to miss out, the latter not even being named among the replacements. Harry Wilson is back in the squad after a long-term injury layoff.

Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Sessegnon, Pereira, Iwobi; Jimenez

Subs: Benda, Castagne, Cuenca, Reed, Cairney, Wilson, Traore, Willian, Vinicius

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Acheampong, Gusto, Lavia, Dewsbury-Hall, Sancho, George
