Chelsea - West Ham
Chelsea - West Ham
Probable teams:
Chelsea: Courtois, Cahill, Terry, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, Cante, Matic, Oscar Azar, villas, Costa
West Ham United: Adrian Reid, Ogbona, Antonio Masuaku, Nordtvayt, Noble Kujat, Feguli, Ayu, Carol
New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is extremely ambitious to return to the championship luster of the team and has already demonstrated its style, relying on a grueling summer training and aggression in the game.
The good news for the "blue" is that they have no injured players, apart from the trauma of Kurt Zouma knee, received a long time ago. Michi Batshuay and N'Golo Cante are about to debut for Chelsea in the Premier League.
The manager of "hammers" Slaven Bilic confirmed that the biggest star of the team Dmitri Payet will not be ready to play, because of the long vacation along the involvement of Euro 2016.
Diafra Sacco, Aaron Kresual and Manuel Lanzini miss the game through injury, but the former player of Chelsea Gokhan Tore resume workouts. New André Ayew, Havard Nordtvayt, Arthur Masuaku and Sofian Feguli will probably start as holders.
Chelsea will not participate in European competition this season and that this fact can be a big trump card in the fight for the title in the Premier League, because of the possibility of a better recovery. Meanwhile, West Ham will play in the Europa League, but the team's summer in controls was quite hesitant.
"Blue" ended in a draw in eight of their last ten home games in the league, but against this opponent unbeaten in 19 of last 21 games in all competitions, scoring at least two goals in five of the last six games between the two London clubs.
West Ham least two goals in eight of their last 10 matches in the Premier League and we believe problems Bilic and his guys in the defensive plan will not end today.
