Raheem Sterling and Wesley Fofana have both dropped team news hints ahead of Chelsea's clash with West Ham this afternoon. The duo have posted pre-match graphic previews of the London derby to their respective Instagram stories.
Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that Sterling can continue his rich vein of form versus the Hammers, having directly contributed towards fours goals in his previous four appearances. And, after suffering defeat to Southampton in the week, Fofana could play a huge role in steadying the ship as the Blues look to return to winning ways.
The west Londoners currently sit tenth in the Premier League and have won just two of their opening five fixtures, which is a sizeable setback in the race for top-four. Chelsea already find themselves a few points behind Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and even Manchester United in the race for top-four, teeing the London derby up to be a feisty affair.
