Wesley Fofana makes his Chelsea debut against West Ham United this afternoon, and there is a recall for Conor Gallagher in midfield – but there is no room in the starting XI for either Mason Mount or Kai Havertz.
Thomas Tuchel has decided to ring the changes after a poor defeat to Southampton in midweek; the result left the Blues tenth after the opening five matches of the campaign, and a reaction is required this afternoon against a West Ham side that have started the campaign in patchy form.
Edouard Mendy keeps his place in goal for Chelsea and will be protected by a back three of Fofana, Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly. Fofana completed his £70million move from Leicester City earlier in the week and replaces Cesar Azpilicueta in the backline.
