Chelsea, Fulham, Brentford and QPR all in action on busy Saturday


It’s a full day for west London’s clubs, starting with Chelsea’s home game against Manchester United at 12.30pm and ending with Fulham at Aston Villa at 8pm.

Chelsea go into the lunchtime kick-off at Stamford Bridge without Maxene Lacroix, who is out until after the international break.

Moises Caicedo has been passed fit and Cole Palmer is available again, though.


Brentford take on Nottingham Forest at the Gtech at 3pm without Fabio Carvalho and Rico Henry. Forest boss Oliver Glasner has doubts over Dan Ndoye, who has hamstring fatigue.

QPR are at Southampton at the same time. Julien Stéphan could have Ilias Chair, Boy Kemper and Alfie Lloyd back.

Fulham are at Villa Park tonight. Ryan Sessegnon is suspended, so Antonee Robinson starts at left-back. Alvaro Arbeloa says Robinson is “so important for us – he’s one of our captains” despite a poor display against Crystal Palace.
