Fulham predicted XI vs. Chelsea: Possible starting lineup as Marco Silva faces Emile Smith Rowe decision

Smith Rowe or Pereira? How Fulham could line up against Chelsea on Wednesday

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

Fulham have been aided in their quest for European football by a relatively healthy squad ahead of their Premier League clash against Chelsea on Sunday, with wingers Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson the only players that will miss out for certain.

Willian could be an option out wide, but Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi were used by boss Marco Silva last time out against Bournemouth on Monday, and they are likely to retain their places in the XI.

While Emile Smith Rowe arrived from Arsenal with high expectations, Silva has criticised the attacking midfielder at times, so perhaps Andreas Pereira will be stationed behind striker Raul Jimenez.

Midfielders Sasa Lukic and Sander Berge have often been paired together to great effect, and the duo's physicality will be needed if the Cottagers are to get the better of Chelsea.

It would be surprising if Silva moved away from trusted centre-backs Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey, who have complimented each other well in defence this season.

Left-back Antonee Robinson and right-back Timothy Castagne could complete the rest of the back four in front of goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Iwobi, Pereira, Sessegnon; Jimenez
