Fulham vs Chelsea confirmed line ups as Ademola Lookman returns and Aleksandar Mitrovic out

Scott Parker has made a singe change to his Fulham side to face Chelsea at Craven Cottage.

Ademola Lookman returns to the starting XI in the place of the ineligible Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is once again absent from the squad despite managing to train earlier in the week.The Serbian trained on Thursday morning but Parker acknowledged it was far from certain he would be involved.

Harrison Reed retains his place with Mario Lemina again unavailable, while Tom Cairney remains out with a knee injury.

Parker said of Cairney: "This is an injury/issue which came up in a friendly game we had a little while ago at the training ground. He got a big bang on it and he's been nursing it. It's got to the point where it's a little bit irritable and it's holding him back."

The Cottagers have only named eight substitutes for the clash - one short of the nine allowed.

Fulham XI: Areola, Tete, Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Robinson, Reed, Anguissa, De Cordova-Reid, Lookman, Cavaleiro

Subs: Rodak, Hector, Odoi, Kebano, Ream, Bryan, Onomah, Kamara
