Chelsea predicted XI vs. Fulham: Possible starting lineup as Enzo Maresca tries to get best from Cole Palmer

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

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca will have most of his squad available against Fulham on Sunday, though he will not be able to select goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina.

Shot-stopper Robert Sanchez has faced criticism this season for his performances, but there is no reason to doubt his place in the XI on the weekend.

With centre-back Wesley Fofana also ruled out, fans can expect to see Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah in central defence, especially as the duo were rested against Legia Warsaw last Thursday.

Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella may be chosen on the right and left of defence respectively given Reece James' history of injuries.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were both left out of Thursday's squad and they should therefore be considered as certain staters on the weekend.

Wingers Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke could be fielded in wide zones given they were paired together against Ipswich Town on April 13 in their most recent Premier League fixture.

Cole Palmer will undoubtedly be in the team in an attacking role behind number nine Nicolas Jackson, and Maresca will be hoping that the striker can help the Englishman rediscover his form.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
