Chelsea Prepare for Fulham Clash as Maresca Faces Key Lineup Decisions

Chelsea will round off their run of early-season London derbies this weekend when they host Fulham at Stamford Bridge, their final fixture before the international break.

The Blues, under new manager Enzo Maresca, opened their Premier League campaign with a draw against Crystal Palace before bouncing back in style with a convincing victory over West Ham. Despite a shaky start against the Hammers, Chelsea quickly settled into rhythm, with their attacking unit firing on all cylinders and set-pieces proving decisive.

Attention now turns to Fulham, with Maresca facing tough selection calls. Among the talking points are whether Estevao will be handed a bigger role and the potential battle between Liam Delap and Joao Pedro for a place in the starting lineup.

With momentum building, fans at Stamford Bridge will be hoping Chelsea can maintain their early-season form and head into the break on a high.
