West Ham United entertain Chelsea in the fourth and final Premier League fixture to take place on Thursday.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 20:15 BST.

Christian Pulisic (£7.0m) is fit to start, with the American having recovered from the minor calf niggle that forced him off against Leicester City in the FA Cup.

Mason Mount (£6.2m) is benched, however.

While there are a number of changes from that cup quarter-final, there are only two alterations from the side that beat Manchester City in the Blues’ last Premier League outing.

Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) replaces Mount in central midfield, while Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) gets the nod to lead the line ahead of Olivier Giroud (£6.6m).

David Moyes has also made two changes to the side that lost at Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 31+.

Mark Noble (£5.0m) is replaced by Manuel Lanzini (£6.1m) in midfield, while Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) ousts Fabian Balbuena (£4.3m) at centre-half.

Sebastien Haller (£6.8m) hasn’t recovered from injury, however.

Pulisic was the second-most-bought Fantasy Premier League midfielder of Gameweek 32+.

Over 167,000 FPL managers snapped up the USA international following his back-to-back goals against Aston Villa and City.

The Hammers won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Stamford Bridge but haven’t kept a clean sheet since New Year’s Day.

Not one of their starters is owned by more than 2% of FPL managers.


Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Christensen, Rüdiger, Azpilicueta; Barkley, Kovacic, Kanté; Pulisic, Abraham, Willian.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Diop, Fredericks; Rice, Soucek; Lanzini, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.

      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I agree. Nothing like a gameweek that just gets worse and worse.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        This is the fpl equivalent of waterboarding.

    watch leicester start picking it up now. Cue vardy goals in the next 3 matches

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years

      And Auba blanks

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    DCL —> Origi —> Deeney?

    Currently have 2 FTs, rest of the team well set.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Do you think Origi will start vs Villa.
      I'm also looking at him as a DCL escape route and have one Pool spot open

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        If tomorrow night is very intense.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Bobby 90 minutes is what we're looking at then ... 😛

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno -> Martial -> Bruno just to flex?

  5. Wild Card this!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Alonso goal imminent.

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      owner here but thinking of transferring out on WC this week...

      I feel like he gets forward and produces attacking returns when Chelsea are short of midfield/forward options.

      Could be wrong but will be watching this match closely. Haven't seen his previous 2 games.

  6. Amey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    God Bless Captain America 😀

  7. THFC4LIFE

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years

  9. Juza

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How can we sell Aubameyang now?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Amazing form, amazing value - a must keep.

    2. Lucy2019
      • 6 Years

    3. joelsprylar
      • 9 Years

    6. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

    7. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

    8. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Selling no matter what. This was the farewell game for him. Thanks Auba. Goodbye Auba.

  11. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Lascelles is going, too.

    Along with DCL, Soyuncu and Barnes. Wastes of space.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bit harsh on lascelles

        1. yer old da
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Total knee jerk reaction from a spewing owner, nonsense 🙂

          I have Lascelles and he’s going nowhere - Newcastle look great.

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Fixtures turn now though

      • Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Him and DCL agreed. They both need to get lost.

    2. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A) Vardy guendozi rash -4 to jesus puli greenwod

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Auba (C) and Saint Maximin in for Vardy and Bergwign for a -4 did work well then 🙂

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That is absolutely brilliant

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Wow, brilliant moves

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Nice, owning DCL rashford -4 for martial, lascelles, and captain Jimi wasn't a good week for me

        • La Roja
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Phew

        • yer old da
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          DCL has to go.

          Pulisic and Ings, or Son and Greenwood, that is the question...

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Greenwood for me.

        • Whiskerz
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          How did DCL look? Missed the game

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Like the donkey he is.

            If you sell he will score next GW though.

          2. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I missed it too but don't really need to have watched it to know he needs to go immediately.

          3. _Make
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Looked like he did too

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            According to most of the comments, he was not good.

          5. Whazza
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            You mean Dominic Championship-Lewin? As expected

            1. Party time
                5 years, 9 months ago

                Lol 😆 Ohh man! 😆

              • 13 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Hard to know how he looked. He was invisible.

          6. EL tridente
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Best combo?
            A) Auba and Grealish to Rashford and Mahrez
            B) Auba and Grealish to Jesus and Martial
            C) Auba, Grealish and Stevens to Greenwood, Son/Mahrez and TAA for -4

            1. mixology
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            A) AWB/Nketiah
            B) Azpilicueta/Greenwood
            C) Aurier/Greenwood?

              5 years, 9 months ago

              My forward line Rashford (C), Jimenez and DCL all blanked.

              • 12 Years

              • 16 Years

              Very difficult to argue against DCL > Greenwood now.

                Yeh I’ve had 3 good, not THE most spectacularly but all definitely good. I got Auba in on WC tho and didn’t have him for FH so that might be why it’s gone well

                DCL 10000%

                keep auba, differential will score points from now until end of season.

                Get greenwood

              2FTs, 0.3ITB. Best move, will see how Son looks tomorrow ofc.

              A. DCL >> Greenwood
              B. Son+DCL >> Martial+Ings
              C. Son+Guendouzi >> Martial+ASM

              Martinez
              TAA • Doherty • Lascelles
              Salah • Son • KDB • Bruno
              Jimmy • Rash • DCL
              (3.9, Holgate, Kiko, Guendouzi)
