Overview

• Multiple outlets list TNT Sports with Discovery+ streaming for UK coverage, though one report cites Sky Sports and NOW, creating conflicting TV information.
• Cole Palmer remains doubtful after a groin issue in the West Ham warm-up, with Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, Romeo Lavia and Omari Kellyman out and Mykhaylo Mudryk suspended.
• João Pedro has started fast this season and is expected to lead Chelsea’s attack if Palmer is not passed fit.
• Fulham are unbeaten after league draws with Brighton and Manchester United and a Carabao Cup win, and Rodrigo Muniz—last season’s late match-winner at the Bridge—could spearhead their attack.
• Pre-match odds and previews broadly favor a narrow Chelsea win in the West London derby.
