Chelsea vs West Ham: predicted XI, 3-4-3 Formation
By Joseph Joe
FORWARDS
Hakim Ziyech
Though the former Ajax star wants out, we still have too see where he will land considering that other League windows might still be open.
The Moroccan Wizard was impressive against The Saints’ , picking up passes from all angles- both long range and mid-range.
Expect him to keep his place in the starting ix against West Ham.
Armando Broja
The former Southampton loanee Came on as a Sub against Southampton and simply ticked all the boxes. Looked very comfortable on the ball. The Albanian international looked miles better than Havertz as a center forward. The young striker brought some much-needed energy and physicality up front to the game—which Chelsea very much needed at that stage, trailing 2-1. Hopefully Broja gets some real chances to showcase his talent going forward after impressing in his brief cameo.
Raheem Sterling
Definitely, the English international is being given the name “Raheem the Dream” for a reason. The experienced former Man City star opened his account with the Blues in a huge way over the weekend and added one more, which is exactly why Todd Boehly emptied his wallet to bring him in. Sterling’s two goals for Chelsea over Leicester, and the one he scored in the lost to Southampton is making a statement as so far, he is CFC‘s best attacker. He’s looked a lot more comfortable in the team with every passing game, which is a joy to watch. Sterling will look to build on his early season success so far against a currently average West Ham team that could mean us picking a win this matchday.
