West Ham have dug themselves into a pretty deep hole in the Premier League. However they’re doing their best to come out of it, beating Tottenham and Sunderland before heading to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
We can’t afford being their third consecutive PL win. Which in Liam Rosenior’s mind means maintaining a strong core in the initial eleven with Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo in midfield, while the likes of Jorrel Hato and Liam Delap get a chance to shine in the Prem.
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Sánchez | Gusto, Chalobah, Badiashile, Hato | Enzo (c), Caicedo | Gittens, Palmer, Garnacho | Delap
Substitutes from: Sharman-Lowe, James, Acheampong, Fofana, Cucurella, Andrey Santos, Neto, João Pedro, Guiu
West Ham starting eleven:
Areola | Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Todibo, Diouf, Bowen (c), Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville, Pablo, Taty
Substitutes from: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Kilman, Wilson, Adama, Magassa, Scarles, Potts, Kanté
