The early Premier League kick off this Saturday is West Ham vs Chelsea and it should be a thriller as these two teams in desperate need of points go head to head.
Both these sides had high hopes for this season, but West Ham are currently languishing in 17th and Chelsea are only in ninth, needing wins to move back towards the European spots.
As well as all that’s at stake in terms of the points, this is a London derby and battles between these two clubs have been fiery over the years.
West Ham vs Chelsea predicted line-ups
West Ham don’t actually have as many personnel concerns as they’ve had at other stages of the season, so David Moyes should be able to name a strong line-up.
Chelsea, though, still have injuries to key players such as Edouard Mendy, N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and Christian Pulisic.
West Ham’s predicted line-up (3-4-2-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Benjamin Johnson, Angelo Ogbonna, Nayef Aguerd; Vladimir Coufal, Lucas Paqueta, Declan Rice, Emerson Palmieri; Jarrod Bowen, Said Benrahma; Michail Antonio.
Chelsea’s predicted line-up (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, Marc Cucurella; Conor Gallagher, Enzo Fernandez, Mason Mount; Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Mykhaylo Mudryk.
