Gameweek 1 concludes at the Bridge, as Chelsea boss Antonio Conte becomes the final new manager to make his Premier League bow.

His opening task is far from straightforward. West Ham United arrive as opposition boasting one of the finest away records in the league under Slaven Bilic last season.

That included a 2-2 draw in the corresponding fixture, where goals from Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll earned the Hammers a point.

While Lanzini sits out tonight’s match through injury, Carroll is in the starting line-up although Dimitri Payet can only make the bench.

The Frenchman could yet see action and will surely post the biggest threat to Conte’s rearguard once on the pitch. His 28% ownership will certainly be desperate for him to make an appearance.

Chelsea have their own gamechanger in Eden Hazard. The Belgian starts for the Blues as he auditions for the heavy-hitter midfield role in our squads.

There’s no shortage of talent on show. We can only hope that translates to points and a Monday night spectacle.

    So, looks like I might need a < £8.0 replacement for Ayew. Double up Chelsea with Willian or Oscar? Lamela or Coutinho of course options too.

      Lamela or Cout sounds right.

      Cout rise tonight, so better move fast

    A) Ayew and Vardy to Redmond and Ibra (-4)? Got Tadic too.

    Or just

    B) Ayew to Lamela

      B) only this week, Vardy might come good against Arsenal

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          So not hamstring?
          A couple of weeks out you think?

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 17 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Looked like his thigh

            By experience even a minor pull is about a week not training..but I'd take a guess at 2 to 3 weeks

              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Is vardy injured too, or do you just not fancy him anymore?
