Although the Blues advanced to the semifinals of the Europa Conference League, a competition that was expected to win, a 2-1 defeat at home against Legia Warsaw in the second stage caused the Enzo Maresca team to be bounced by the multitude of Stamford Bridge.

Fulham could accommodate Harry Wilson on the back of a foot injury that has been outside.
The Chelsea can call Romeo Lavia after his recovery of a muscle injury, while the tastes of Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Levi Colwill could return after resting against Legia.
Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Anderson, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Sessegnon, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz
Chelsea: Sánchez, James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Network; Jackson

The Chelsea will probably end the season with a trophy, but its hopes of the Champions League look more and more fragile and are mature for a European hangover against a dangerous team of Fulham.
Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Chelsea
