West Ham vs Chelsea rosters, team news
Both Emerson Palmieri And Nicolas Fullkrug He will undergo injury fitness tests before Julen Lopetegui decides his line-up for this weekend.
Lucas Paqueta should return, perhaps as a No. 10 up front Thomas Soucek given his poor performance at Fulham last time out. Michel Antonio is likely to start given concerns over Fullkrug’s injury, while Vladimir Coufal will take priority over Emerson if the latter is not at 100 percent.
West Ham’s predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Areola (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Coufal — Alvarez, Rodriguez — Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus — Antonio
Hurt: Emerson (doubt), Fullkrug (doubt)
Suspended: None
Chelsea still without captain Reece Jamesbut there was some positive injury news for Maresca this week: Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall And Bad taste all have resumed full training.
That should mean the Blues boss will have plenty of selection dilemmas as he looks to lead his side to a fifth consecutive away league win. Fernandez has captained the side in James’ absence for the first three league games of 2024/25 and will return to midfield.
Gusto is likely to start given the lack of obvious alternatives at right-back, but Lavia, who has played just 73 minutes this season, and Dewsbury-Hall are likely to be on the bench.
Christophe Nkunku And Jadon Sancho can hope to start after combining for the winning goal at Bournemouth last time out.
Chelsea’s predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Sanchez (GK) — Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella — Caicedo, Fernandez — Madueke, Palmer, Sancho — Nkunku
Hurt: Jacques
Suspended: None
West Ham vs Chelsea Prediction
In six of the last nine clashes between West Ham and Chelsea we have seen at least three goals, so Saturday’s game could provide another thrilling, back-and-forth affair.
While West Ham managed to topple Chelsea at home last season, the Red Devils are yet to find their rhythm at the London Stadium this time around. But Chelsea may well have the firepower to overtake the Hammers and claim victory.
Prediction: West Ham United 1-2 Chelsea
