Enzo Fernandez blocks Joao Palhinha's long-range effort for Fulham.

Almost a goal from Chelsea newbie David Datro Fofana. He runs onto a long ball, goes round Bernd Leno, steps inside Issa Diop and shoots...

But there is Tim Ream sliding in on the line to deny the young Ivorian.

Oooh. Noni Madueke's cross is cleared by Tim Ream but only to Conor Gallagher, who opens his body up and curls a shot just wide of the bottom corner.

Maybe Clinton Morrison is waiting for a call? He's only 43.

You talk about the good business Chelsea have done but it could have been even better if they bought a number nine. You need that natural number nine in the squad – look at all the chances they have missed.

I was very surprised they didn’t buy a number nine. Surely that has to happen in the summer. Or does Lukaku come back and slot in? I would have gone and got Ivan Toney.

David Datro Fofana was only about £10m, bargain bucket by Chelsea levels.

Chelsea bring on David Datro Fofana for his Premier League debut. Mason Mount is replaced.

Willian gets a standing ovation from the Chelsea fans as he comes off. He played for the Blues from 2013 to 2020.

Fulham bring on Manor Solomon and Harry Wilson for Bobby Decordova-Reid and Willian.

A very wingery double change.

Seeing a few frustrated messages about Reece James coming off after 59 minutes. For anyone who doesn't play fantasy football, if you play an hour without conceding you get clean sheet points...

What a moment this would have been.

The ball lands to £107m man Enzo Fernandez about 30 yards and he hits a first-time swerving shot which flies just wide of the post. Bernd Leno was worried.

This would really have been quite something!

Aleksandar Mitrovic cuts out an Enzo Fernandez pass in his own half, runs forward and then shoots from a good 50 yards.

It's an excellent shot and Kepa backpedals and then claws the ball down off the line.

Willian lacks the legs he had a few years ago but he still holds off Benoit Badiashile and blasts a cross to Bobby Decordova-Reid, whose shot from a tight angle is straight at Kepa.

Bobby Decordova-Reid fouls Raheem Sterling and is the latest member of book town.

Thiago Silva gets a head to the corner but it just sails into the gloves of Bernd Leno.

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta wins a corner and then urges the fans to make some noise.

Joao Palhinha has been excellent for Fulham so far.

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher snaps in at the ankles of Andreas Pereira and gets booked.

Good turn and run by Raheem Sterling but then he just overhits the pass into England team-mate Mason Mount in the box.

Better though. Sort of.

Noni Madueke crosses and Raheem Sterling throws himself into the air for a scissors-kick but Kenny Tete heads it away before it reaches the sub.
