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.

      Michy assist

    • Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Costa can't steal the BAPS can he with that?

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe

      2. Donkey_Sanctuary
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        No. I assume you haven't played this game much as Costa has always needed to score at least 2 to get bonus points. He is one of the worst at getting BAPS among the premium players (probably the worst)

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That was like the Ibra goal

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        That was an actual shot.

      Chelski deserve that Carroll the cheat

    • Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      If he didn't bruise Adrian's legs earlier in the game, that wouldn't have gone in 😉 😛
