Blues interim head coach Callum McFarlane makes six changes to the Chelsea starting XI ahead of tonight's premier league clash with Fulham  


New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior was appointed yesterday it is Calum McFarlane who oversees tonight's clash at Craven Cottage. Chelsea will be looking to build upon their hard earned draw away at Manchester City on Sunday. 

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez missed the draw on Sunday due to injury and returns to start in goal for tonight's West London derby at Craven Cottage. He is expected to be protected by a defence which consists of Malo Gusto, Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella. 


There is a return back to the side for Moises Caicedo after the Ecuadorian served a one game suspension against Manchester City.  Caicedo is set to be partnered in midfield by Andrey Santos after the Brazilian's impressive second half outing on Sunday.

There is a start for Cole Palmer once more along with the Blues goalscorer at the Etihad Enzo Fernandez with Pedro Neto and Liam Delap completing the Chelsea Attack .
