Fulham and Chelsea round off opening Premier League weekend

And here are the line-ups for this evening's game.
Team news will be dropping in under ten minutes but the headline already is that Enzo Fernández has arrived with the visitors' squad for tonight's match. The Argentina international's future at Stamford Bridge remains clouded in uncertainty so this is a potentially big development.
All eyes are on Craven Cottage tonight for a West London derby with a difference. Both Fulham and Chelsea have new managers in Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso, who know each other best and worst.
The pair were teammates at Liverpool and Real Madrid. Both also embarked on coaching spells at the Bernabéu, too, with Arbeloa replacing Alonso on an interim basis after his sacking midway through last season.
It's fair to say that there will be no love lost between them tonight!
