Chelsea will travel to the East hoping for a change of fortune this weekend. West Ham United have almost got everything wrong this season. Their struggles have found them on the 17th position on the points table. However, after reinforcing the squad with the likes of Danny Ings and the young Brazilian centre back Luizao, David Moyes’ side will look to escape the relegation battle soon and hope for a mid table finish.

Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have played their role in the transfer window leaving no stone unturned. After being eliminated in the third round of the FA Cup itself, the Blues enjoyed a two week break and then did get a chance to experiment with their new signings at the Bridge against Fulham. CFC cannot afford to waste time any more if they plan to secure a spot in the top four at the end of the season and will have to start dealing in three points this game onwards. Chelsea have only managed to win two of their last 12 games and with the quality that the squad possesses now, such performances will not be acceptable.

The west London outfit have definitely put on better displays but still struggle to find that end product in the final third. Joao Felix is back from suspension and will be available for selection, this definitely will be a huge boost to the side. Graham Potter will be expected to make bold decisions and use this power packed squad to its full potential.
