Team News: Fulham v Chelsea Injury, Suspended List

This week, the Premier League returns with a west London derby when Chelsea takes on Fulham. Chelsea has won seven of the last nine league meetings between these two sides. However, the two teams are facing a nervy run of fixtures, with Chelsea having won only one of their last eight matches, while Fulham has won just two of their last four. In a battle for European qualification, Fulham is looking to move above Chelsea and into the top six.

Chelsea has had many players injured in recent weeks. Wesley Fofana and N'Golo Kante have both been sidelined. Both are likely to be out of the game, but there is an excellent chance that Ross Barkley will return from a knock.

Chelsea will be without Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is suspended for the game. The Serbian has been ineffective since moving to Craven Cottage in the summer. He has one yellow card to his name and could find himself out of the match. There is also an opportunity for Marcos Alonso to return, but he is still nursing an ankle injury.

Chelsea will have an extensive list of key players on the sidelines. They will be missing John Stones, David Brooks, Reece James, and Naby Keita. Eden Hazard has missed both of the Europa League games but is expected to be fit for the match against the Wolves. Maurizio Sarri's team is in the middle of a 12-game spell, so they will have to keep their squad tight.

Wolves are another side that will be without a player who plays a significant role for them. Wing-back Jonny is likely to miss the match with a knee problem. Other key absentees include Andros Townsend, Nathan Patterson, and Mason Holgate.

Despite the injuries, the Wolves are going to have a tough task to win the match. Manchester City has a seven-point lead at the top of the table and will be a threat to the team from the West. With that said, the Wolves can still have a good chance of picking up some points against the reigning champions.

Chelsea's squad is a mixture of experienced and youthful talent. Several key players are out of the game, and some of them are expected to leave the club. There are also decisions to be made about three midfielders. Mateo Kovacic may replace Diego Costa and Ross Barkley will play as a third midfielder, but there's no guarantee.

Chelsea's last away game was against Newcastle. It's possible that the Blues could lose their next five away games, with Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Arsenal all set to visit Stamford Bridge. That could have a huge impact on Chelsea's chances of finishing in the top four.

Chelsea is currently in ninth place and has won just one of their last eight games. However, the Blues will be attempting to bounce back from an FA Cup defeat to Manchester City, and a 3-1 loss to Tottenham at Wembley.
