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.

    Correct decision to disallow the goal

      If Muniz hadn't stood on Chalobah, then Chalobah would have been in position to stop the ball when it came back before it went to King

        He was turning and his foot went down

        You are allowed to stand up in football

          The action after the challenge the ball bounces back in the direction of Chalobah, but because Chalobah was on the floor he couldn't get the ball.
