Felix was granted a work permit earlier today and goes straight into the team in place of Hakim Ziyech.
He will start in attack alongside Kai Havertz and Mason Mount as Chelsea line-up in a 3-4-3 formation.
Felix often played as a striker for Atletico Madrid but he could fulfil a number of different roles at Stamford Bridge.
He featured at left wing for Portugal at the World Cup and he could start on the left against Fulham.
The 23-year-old prefers operating as a no.10 however, stating: “My best position is as the second forward.
“Playing like a No.10, with a guy in front of me.”
