Chelsea host West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday while they aim to secure their fifth consecutive victory across all competitions.
The Blues have moved into the top five of the table following a transformative month under Liam Rosenior. Confidence is high after a dramatic 3–2 midweek victory in Naples secured their Champions League knockout spot. Now, Chelsea must maintain their domestic momentum as they look to close the gap on the top four. A win tonight would mark another significant milestone in Rosenior’s early tenure.
Chelsea Team News
Liam Rosenior manages a squad bolstered by the return of its primary creative spark. Notably, Cole Palmer is available to start after his match-winning cameo in Italy. The manager also confirmed that João Pedro will lead the line as he searches for his fifth goal in five games. Consequently, the Blues possess a potent attacking threat to breach a West Ham defence that has struggled for clean sheets.
Robert Sánchez will continue in goal, while Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah are expected to form the central defensive partnership. In midfield, Moisés Caicedo will link up with Enzo Fernández, who currently ranks among the league’s best for line-breaking passes into the penalty area. Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho will provide the width for an attack aiming to exploit West Ham’s recent away-day vulnerabilities.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup
Chelsea predicted XI: Sánchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernández; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; Pedro
