Midfield


CM – Moises Caicedo – you don’t usually see a bad display from the Ecuadorian these days. He’s had a decent start to the season.

CM – Enzo Fernandez – after a pretty underwhelming performance on the opening day, the midfielder roared back by getting on the scoresheet against the Hammers. A goal after a run from deep is becoming his trademark.

AM – Joao Pedro – it is now 4 goals in his first 5 competitive appearances for the Blues. The forward has had an outstanding start to life at Stamford Bridge.

Forwards


RW – Estevao – a first start for Chelsea and a first assist. You can’t ask for more from the young Brazilian.

CF – Liam Delap – the striker’s hold-up play last week was excellent and he will need to utilise that strength against Fulham’s centre-back pairing Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey.

LW – Pedro Neto – got himself a goal at the far post against West Ham. Fans will be keen to see more of that end product going forward.
