Chelsea v Fulham gets Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway.

The team news couldn’t be simpler: both sides are unchanged from their last Premier League matches.

The Blues are, of course, without the injured Cole Palmer for this clash.

Reece James is only among the substitutes again, as Malo Gusto keeps his place at right-back.

Moises Caicedo is fit to start, despite only having his first training session of the week on Friday.

As for the Cottagers, Rodrigo Muniz retains his place up top despite a midweek goal for positional rival Raul Jimenez.

And budget FPL midfielder Josh King starts for the third league game in a row.

Harry Wilson is on the bench after shrugging off a midweek foot injury, while Antonee Robinson is also a substitute as he slowly builds up match fitness following his summer knee surgery.

LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Tosin, Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Estevao, Joao Pedro, Neto, Delap.

Subs: Jorgensen, Acheampong, James, Fofana, Hato, Essugo, Santos, George, Gittens.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Anderson, Bassey, Castagne, Lukic, Berge, Sessegnon, King, Iwobi, Muniz.

Subs: Lecomte, Cuenca, Robinson, Reed, Cairney, Adama, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Jimenez.

    They don't stretch hamstrings anymore in the PL?
    9 hamstring injuries and there's been 21 games.

                If it's anything like the United one, it gets regularly assessed / updated.

                There's a tweet in the replies under yours where he says Liverpool are getting Sancho ffs. Known chancer.
