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.

FPL Lessons Learned from Gameweek 32+

    Greenwood, Rashford & Bruno good 3 picks for treble up?

    1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It's what I have. Not sure it is best, but saves a hell of a lot to spend elsewhere

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lose Rashford, go Martial or Pogba

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I’m going AWB, Bruno and Greenwood

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

      No the best 3 picks for Man Utd are Martial, Bruno & Rashford.

    I can’t help but laugh at the look on Moyes’ face when the goal is disallowed and the bubbles are still being churned out beside him!

  3. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Wow, Man Utd top 3 it seems!

    How’s Pulisic looking?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Like cross between young C. Ronaldo and Oscar.

      1. The Suspended One

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Two of those basically have nothing to play for...

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

  7. gryffsonofarthur
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez or Martial?

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Martial

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Martial

  8. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    2FT Auba, Sarr -> Salah(c), Greenwood gives me

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Maguire
    Salah(c), Son, KDB, Bruno
    Jimi, DCL, Greenwood

    Other option is DCL -> Greenwood, leave Auba and captain Trent.

    Thoughts?

    1. Mr Q
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wait for tomorrows game, but Salah looks tempting

  9. Mr Q
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Alright.. Richarlison to who?

    A) pulisic
    B) Antonio
    C) hit me

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years

  10. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ι don't watch the game but any chance Chelsea can turn it around and grab the W?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yup

  11. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    who would you rather:

    Rashford + Pulisic
    Ing + Martial

    1. Fpl_Juggernaut
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford is an eternal trap

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        bound to be scoring soon - United too attacking

  12. gryffsonofarthur
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    My dilemma is:

    A) Nketieh / Martial

    Or

    B) Greenwood / Mahrez

    I already own Rash and Bruno.

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I would not keep Nketiah as a starter .. so B

  13. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Fella below me in ML sets Ings to 2nd sub... Guendouzi doesn't play... Cool, 1st on bench? Rico... doesn't play. Jammy sod man! I got Hayden coming in for Saka (big up the 1 point). Watch Lundy bang tomorrow and stay on my bench taunting me.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lol to be fair he easily couldve been trolling you

      No chance Guendouzi and Rico was going to be playing anyways

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is Origi a sh1tty punt?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years

      Purely 1 week.

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

    Bournemouth are going down, aren’t they? 🙁

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      One look at their schedule and you know it.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

  16. gryffsonofarthur
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Replacing Vardy and Guendoozy.

    Best mid and Forward at that price as replacements?

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood and Mahrez

      1. LC1
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        But obv depends on who you currently have in your team

      2. gryffsonofarthur
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That was my thinking.

    2. Mr Q
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood/Bruno

  17. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    WILSHERE ON. 😎

  18. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Jack Wilshire plays footballl still? Thought he was a full time Marlboro model now

  19. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    32 minutes for Wilshere to get injured

  20. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Why I have DDG in my team. DCL > Greenwood could be easy transfer but already 3 United. Is it stupid to do DDG > Ederson and get Greenwood?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Only a few transfers left
      Seems like a waste

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

        Yeah thats what Im thinking. Looks that I have to keep Ddg.

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

      Nope, not silly if you have 2 FT.

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

    Yellow Rice

    1. gryffsonofarthur
      • 7 Years

      Prefer jasmine rice

  22. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pope
    TAA AWB Aurier Doherty
    KDB Salah [c] Bruno Martial Antonio*
    Jimenez
    Bench: McCarthy DCL Nketiah Egan

    *currently Sarr, would you go: A. Antonio B. Pulisic C. Willian D. Foden

  23. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who is a better footballer: Pepe or Saint-Maximin?

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

      Max

  24. Ógie

    Pope
    TAA AWB Saiss
    Salah KDB Fernandes Sarr
    Rashford Jimenez DCL

    Henderson Lascelles Cantwell Lundstram

    2FT, 1.4itb

    If I use my 2FT to do Lundstram Sarr >> Aurier Pulisic (or Willian or Fidel) would BB be worth playing:

    1. 2FT and BB with: Henderson (bur) Lascelles (WHU) Cantwell (BHA) Aurier (EVE)

    2. DCL >> someone ?

  28. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
