'Unfair' - Chelsea fans fume at what Frank Lampard has done ahead of Fulham game

Chelsea supporters have been reacting to Frank Lampard's team selection for the west London derby against Fulham.

The Blues have a great chance to move up to seventh place in the Premier League table with a victory over the Cottagers this evening.

Lampard's side are looking to end a poor recent run of results, with his team winning just one of their last six league outings.

However, last weekend, Chelsea were able to comfortably beat Morecambe in the FA Cup third round, which should've given them some much-needed confidence for today's Premier League clash.

The Blues come up against a Fulham side that have really started to find their feet in the top flight after a concerning start to the campaign.

Scott Parker's side are without a victory in their last six league games, but have drawn their past five matches, which is a real improvement considering their start to the season.

Lampard has selected a strong side for Chelsea, as he looks to end their worrying run of form.

The team is: Edouard Mendy, Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud.

Chelsea supporters have been reacting to the latest team news and they weren't happy with Callum Hudson-Odoi not being in the team.

Hudson-Odoi could only make the bench for the Blues, despite his impressive performance in last weekend's FA Cup win.

There was no place for Timo Werner as well, with Giroud leading the line. Kurt Zouma comes out of the team, meaning a rare start for Rudiger.

The Blues can move within three points of the top four with a victory at Craven Cottage as they prepare for a game just a few days later away at Leicester City.

A win for Lampard today would certainly ease the pressure on the Chelsea boss, with some recent reports suggesting that Roman Abramovich could be looking to replace the former midfielder after their poor run of form.
