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.

    That Pulisic wagon/donkey cart was short lived..

    1. Hitmonlee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He still looks class (non owner)

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That well known fpl rule that if your team loses your two assists disappear

    3. Cruz88
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He has 7, 7, 8 in his last three

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Still walking away with 8 points

    5. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It just got started..He is immense and at 7mn worth a punt in 3-5-2

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        alot of midfield options atm to fit in a 5

    6. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      how 2 x assist

  3. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm...so Willian or Pulisic on wc?

    1. FPL_Devil
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic 100 percent

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kneejerk o’clock for Willy

  4. Hitmonlee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Considering it’s now a case of attack Norwich games I may get Connolly in for next week..
    Will free up good funds for another City asset next week..
    sound good?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rather attack Bournemouth games

      1. Hitmonlee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve already got 3 Man U

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking at this to for 1 week punt, connoly of maupay??

      1. Hitmonlee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on budget but Connolly is a better bet as I’ll happily bench him after the Norwich game.
        Maupay a little too pricey to have on the bench

  5. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pulisic/willian or mahrez is a tough one.
    Chelsea not great defensively so will need to keep scoring goals. OK fixtures.
    Man City score for fun, more rotation though? Better fixtures?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

  6. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Chelsea should forget about Havertz,all money in CB,LB and GK

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Haveerz will chose Bayern hands down. Kepa has big attitude problem. Wasnt he more expensive than even Allison?

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        They payed a lot,think record for GK.
        Just copy Pool with Alison and VVD and they will be ok

        1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Players of Alisson's and VVD's quality don't exist mate

          1. FFSbet.com
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            They didn't exist 2 years ago either but see what happened.
            Players like Salah and Mane didn't exist too,see them now.

            1. HNI
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              They are 29 and its takes time. Like I wont be surprised Martial becomes world class at that age...maybe even Maguire next season or so.. 27-29 are footballer wonder years

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He won't wanna play in the Europa League anyway. CB and GK are essential for Chelsea. Where's Reece James at atm?

  7. FPL_Devil
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    First good thing David Moyes has ever done for Manchester United:)

  8. Jullepuu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Classic West Ham. Always so inconsistent

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think it was more Chelsea losing that game than west ham winning it.

      1. Jullepuu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You're probably correct with that statement

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This, bad defensive performance

  9. Zimo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So Bournemouth Norwich are definitely gonna get relegated and maybe Villa as well

  10. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Rashford Foden
    B) Greenwood Son

    Best option?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have Greenwood and Foden

      Yolo

  11. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Wanted to bring Alonso in on FH this week but surely a huge chance of getting dropped now 🙁

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The last goal was 100% his fault.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. That poor it could see him dropped I fear.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah wouldn’t bother

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic and Willian enough from Chelsea

  12. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm forever blowing bubbles
    Pretty bubbles in the air
    They fly so high
    Nearly reach the sky
    Then like my dreams
    They fade and die.
    Fortunes always hiding,
    I've looked everywhere,
    I'm forever blowing bubbles
    Pretty bubbles in the air!
    I'm forever blowing bubbles

    SCENES !

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      BAN!

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Wow ! 😆

        I know you sang along 😉

  13. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Another Chelsea loss because of Kepa. God awful positioning on corners, he has literally 0 presence in the box.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He is probably one of the worst keepers in the league to be fair.

  14. AC Pilkington
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is this worth a hit?

    Auba and Doucoure--> Jesus and Pulisic

    1. Hitmonlee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Quite possibly

  15. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Happy day for MUN as LEI and CHE stumble?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      🙂

    2. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think Leicester will drop out of the top 4. Toughest fixtures.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        The form is even concerning

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes! But Leicester most likely to drop out!

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Si!

  16. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Moyes' best managerial result for Man United

  17. Rover
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    3 points separating 4 teams fighting for 2 spots. At both ends of the table. This is going to go down to the wire. Thrilling.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And they play each other on the final day

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And the top 4 fight as well ... nice FPL problem!

  18. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Dcl&sako out for greenwood&willian/pulisic?

  19. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is the 3 on the Chelsea shirts how many goals they'll concede each week?

    1. Hitmonlee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    2. Hitmonlee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The irony

  20. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I kinda like West Ham and Villa so part of me does not want to see them relegated but if it means that Man United pick up Rice and Grealish well then be gone with em. 😛

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dont think United's getting Rice....

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He’s coming to chelsea

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      WHU will stay up for sure
      Villa are dead man walking. Although grealish would cost 40m+
      I don't think we'll get him tbh

    3. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You rate Rice? I don't have an opinion on him yet to be honest.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He seems like a young Matic who can run more. Definitely a quality player

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        For a 21 year old playing in that position he has shown great maturity.

        I am not the only that rates him and he was handed the captains armband tonight in Mark Noble's absents which says a lot.Both Declan and Jack are team leaders and United need players with back bone like they have.

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Should I still get rid of Auba?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes obviously

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Time for Jesus

  22. gryffsonofarthur
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lost respect for Kepa the moment he refused to come off in the cup final. Chelsea should have cut their losses.

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Nketiah to Greenwood for a hit?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you play him

  24. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If Alonso didn’t score the odd screamer he’d be a bigger laughing than Phil Jones and David Luiz

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      This is probably correct.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      All time jokes backline:

      Almunia
      Jones - David Luiz - Mustafi - Alonso

  25. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Predicted score for son tomorrow?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2

      Hendsrson and Egan owner...

  26. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba, Barnes & Mount to Greenwood, Salah & Antonio for -8?

  27. Don Kloppeone
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Depending on Son tomorrow, considering two options for a -4:

    DCL, Son, Guendo >

    A) Greenwood, Mahrez, Pulisic
    B) Nketiah, Martial, Pulisic

    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Doherty, Lascelles, Kiko, Simpson
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, XXXX, XXXX
    Rashford, Jimi, XXXX

    I prefer the look of A but I’d have a real dilemma which of those front 8 to bench next GW!

    Thoughts?

  28. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Chelsea drops 6 pts to Westham, 5 pts to Bournemouth, losses to Newcastle, Everton, Southampton

    If we miss out on CL...

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Reckon you will. Wolves and United relentless and easier fixtures. Fingers crossed for you that Citys ban is upheld and a chance of 5th.

  29. Bob B
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DDG & Nketiah to 5.4 goalkeeper (not Kepa) & Greenwood?

    1. gryffsonofarthur
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal keeper a nice one to get in and free up funds
