With a 0-0 scoreline at Stamford Bridge and the ability to bring on almost £190million of talent, it's little wonder that many pundits at the start of the season thought the depth at Chelsea's disposal could see them turn into a true Premier League contender. When Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic were introduced against West ham, it was a statement of a luxury that Thomas Tuchel has at his disposal.
With the announcement of each signing from that trio it was hoped the player would arrive or develop into a player with a cemented role in Chelsea's starting XI. Against the Hammers, the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Mason Mount assumed the forward roles in the team, to keep the trio out of the side.
While a number of those figures may not have established themselves in west London as planned, the talent available cannot be denied. That group have scored the bulk of Chelsea's goals this season, and along with Callum Hudson-Odoi, offer Tuchel a number of different combination to take advantage of.
