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.

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

      On pens, on FK's, good season-end fixtures, a pretty solid differential

  13. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    This is Willian's best season in terms of points

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

      Really?
      Under the radar

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

      No Hazard to steal the pens this season though

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        True 😀

  14. Fudgy

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

        5 years, 9 months ago

        He's quality, honestly don't understand why he isn't more hyped. Very young, first season too

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

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        he's going to be unreal next season

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 9 months ago

        My only choice was martial or pulisic in for a hit, I wanted puli but scared of him being rested so I went for the nailed and rested martial

      • Fpl_Juggernaut
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

      • Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        If Pulisic doesn't score one id be unhappy.
        He's so freaking good

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

          Can’t be unhappy with 2 assists from this performance by Chelsea

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

            I want one more at least bro

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

              Seems the most likely tbf

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

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

          Had him for 5+ games in autumn and he did nothing. Before that lookes like a new Hazard.

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

            Me too

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not Pulisic?

      • Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I should have done that Rich to Willian move this GW after all... 🙁 🙁

      • waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Willian not really mentioned much?
        Thinking mount and DCL to willian and ings (-4).
        Good moves?

      • Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Tomorrow better bring me some spectacular points. My arrow keeps getting redder. Now down 6k tonight.

        Salah (C) needed to save the day

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah. Been a horror GW 🙁

      • Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Ffs.

      • The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cba with this game. 4k before corona ruined my wildcard and fxcked this season up for me.

        Season should’ve just finished. Done for this year.

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

          I wc'd before the shutdown too and its been working for me quite nicely. what was your WC team, cause i feel like my WC team had most of the players i would want anyways

      • RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Now looking at this mini-WC hit... good moves?

        DCL+Son+Guendouzi >> Martial+Pulisic+Nketiah (-4)

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I was looking at same 3 out for Mahrez, Pulisic and Greenwood (-4)

          Only issue would be who of that front 8 to bench next GW!

          Salah, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Pulisic
          Rash, Jimi, Greenwood

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah. Looked at that. Think I prefer Martial

            1. Don Kloppeone
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              My thinking was that there seems to be a merry-go-round of Martial and Bruno being in the points but not at the same time so could be a wasted space in midfield each week.

              Mahrez is in good form and looks set for decent amount of minutes.

              Not sure though....!

      • teneighty
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bye Tammy, hello Greenwood!

      • HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Pulisic Werner Ziyech

        Insane front three

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

          Old Liverpool.

          Insane attack, clowns at the back.

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

            This. Until they get a keeper and another centre half they won't trouble the top of the table.

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

              Kepa is trash
              Chilwell will help
              Need another CB for sure

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

            Wouldn't go that far. Rudiger and James are legit. One good LB and we have something there

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

              Can’t wait for a full season of Reese James

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

          Rip Tammy Mount and CHO lol

      • Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Pulisic one or two assists?

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

          Two fantasy assists.

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          2 flops to the floor. No actual real life assists 🙂

      • FPL_Devil
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        3 More pts and my hit for pulisic will be worth jt

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

          *it

      • Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Any sub 7.2 forward worth getting in? DCL, Giroud, Jota, Deeney? Or is there more value in Doherty/Alonso for example?
