Chelsea predicted lineup vs West Ham United: Felix, Mudryk and Madueke start in 4-2-3-1

Chelsea will face London rivals West Ham United at the London Stadium in an early Saturday kickoff. Graham Potter’s side will be hoping to get back to winning ways after a 0-0 draw against Fulham and CFC have every right to be hopeful, given West Ham’s vulnerable position. The Hammers sit 17th in the table with 19 points, just one point above the relegation zone.

Chelsea are finally seeing some of their injured stars return as Reece James started the last game, whereas Ben Chilwell came on in the final stages of the game for a six minute cameo. Mateo Kovacic is in contention to feature against the Hammers. Mudryk was suffering from a bad cold and was taken off at halftime against Fulham but should be back for the West Ham tie. N’Golo Kante is doing very light training and is still far away from returning to the match day squad.

Another big boost could be the potential return of Wesley Fofana. The Frenchman has trained with the team and should be available for selection. Denis Zakaria is still recuperating from his thigh injury. Joao Felix also returns after serving his three game suspension after picking up a red card against Fulham.

Potter could unleash a strong side against West Ham and inflict more damage on David Moyes’ side, who are already struggling in the league. CFC will be hoping to pick up three points on the road as they begin their top four ascend.

Goalkeeper: Kepa Arrizabalaga

Kepa has been impressive in the recent run of games and kept his fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League during the 0-0 draw against the Cottagers. The Spaniard will be hoping to carry on his fine form against the Irons.
