West Ham are the visitors to Stamford Bridge today and Thomas Tuchel has made a trio of alterations from our midweek loss to Arsenal, with Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Kai Havertz all returning to the side. The Brazilian makes his 50th Premier League appearance.

In a change to the original team submitted, Trevoh Chalobah has replaced Andreas Christensen in the starting XI.

Romelu Lukaku, Malang Sarr and Reece James make way, the latter not involved in the squad at all.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is expected to start at right wing-back with Marcos Alonso on the opposite flank and Thiago Silva alongside captain Cesar Azpilicueta and Chalobah in central defence in front of Edouard Mendy.

Jorginho is back in midfield next to N’Golo Kante, while the front three is made up of Mason Mount, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

West Ham make six changes from last weekend’s draw with Burnley as Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Michael Antonio all sit out. Arthur Masuaku, who scored the winner when the two sides last met in December, returns.
