Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Fulham could line up for their Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday.

Fulham manager Scott Parker is under immense pressure to get his team selection spot on for Saturday's trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in the Premier League.

The relegation-threatened Cottagers are already without injured trio Marek Rodak, Tom Cairney and Terence Kongolo, while it remains to be seen if Kenny Tete will recover from coronavirus in time to feature.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek will also miss out as he is ineligible to face his parent club, but the Chelsea loanee has been criticised in recent weeks and was not expected to start over Mario Lemina or Andre Zambo Anguissa.

Fulham's defence held on for 97 minutes against Arsenal before eventually being breached by Eddie Nketiah, but Parker should keep his faith in Tosin Adarabioyo, Joachim Andersen, Antonee Robinson and Ola Aina for this battle.

Bobby Decordova-Reid and Ademola Lookman should continue out wide, but Ivan Cavaleiro could be pushed out to the flanks if Parker makes an alteration to his forward line.

Josh Maja scored what he surely thought would have been the game-winning penalty at Arsenal and should continue up top, but Aleksandar Mitrovic could come into Parker's thinking in spite of his frustrating campaign.

Fulham possible starting lineup:
Areola; Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Robinson; Decordova-Reid, Lemina, Zambo Anguissa, Lookman; Maja, Mitrovic
