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.

    Kepa is not good to be a keeper for a Sunday League. I mean, what an amateur. How on the earth did he allow this? They were having dinner, breakfast and supper in his 5 yard box and he was just standing there.

    Bring Willy now.

    Asap.

    Sell this amateur to Valencia.

    He will ruin CL!!!

      Five yard box?

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Surely offside/onside would be more clearer if they use that black/white touch map thing they use in cricket

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Correct decision anyway. Gary Neville stuck in the dark ages as per. You're either on or off!

  19. DandyDon

    5 years, 9 months ago

    Was just beginning to like VAR... now they're drawing lines to justify that being offside?
