Chelsea takes on West Ham and whilst the Blues line-up is not as tantalising as I would have liked, I'm more concerned with the fact that Declan Rice is not starting for the Hammers.
After rejecting another proposal from the Hammers earlier this week, Chelsea are one step closer to making their Rice transfer a reality. There's just one or two stumbling blocks in the way. Firstly, they need to confirm a new owner. Secondly, they must overcome the transfer battle that they will inevitably have with the East Londoners. And lastly, and the most pressing, they need to beat West Ham today.
Thomas Tuchel opts for Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Chalobah; Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Mount, Havertz and Werner.
