The Gameweek begins in the vast amphitheatre that is the London Stadium as West Ham host champions Chelsea in the early kick-off.

From a Fantasy perspective, the big news is that Alvaro Morata starts for Antonio Conte’s side, diffusing Friday’s reports stating that he had pulled up in training. The Spaniard leads the line for the Blues, with Eden Hazard presumably deployed up in support in the No 10 role. That pair have scored or assisted 12 of Chelsea’s 15 goals away from home this season and will surely carry the threat to the Hammers.

Elsewhere for Chelsea, Andreas Christensen earns a sixth successive start in defence, while David Zappacosta earns a recall at right wing-back with Victor Moses rested to the bench, this despite his two assists in the 3-1 win over Newcastle United.

The West Ham line-up includes Adrian in goal, with his performance at Manchester City in Gameweek 15 earning him the nod over Joe Hart. Both Andy Carroll and Chicharito have returned to fitness but are kept in reserve by David Moyes as Michail Antonio leads the attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I am one of those. But Azpi did me well - that goal against Watford and assist against Utd were beautiful things. They will get back on track.

      My rival has Courtois, Alonso and Azpi and I have Haz (c) and Morata.
      This was a perfect opening.

    Is it time to sell Hazard with a rest imminent?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Wasn’t he rested last week?

    2. Ady87
      • 12 Years

    Masuaku has to be the best dribbling back in the league.

    Not that he's very good overall, mind

  18. Syd.

    1. The Martinis
      • 12 Years

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
