After starting the season with a nice run of weeks with one game, we’re now into two a week, and Maurizio Sarri’s decisions each week are increasing.
Here’s the team we think he’ll pick to face West Ham at the Olympic Stadium.
In goal there’s no reason to doubt that Kepa Arrizabalaga will start.
In defence, Cesar Azpilicueta returns after playing only half an hour in Greece, along with Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz. Marcos Alonso will continue and hope to continue his good form too.
In midfield, the Jorginho and N’Golo Kante pairing can continue, even though they both started on Thursday.
Mateo Kovacic is more of a doubt after being subbed against Cardiff, but a week should be enough to shake off that problem. If not, Ross Barkley is ready to step in again.
The front three is all but set. Olivier Giroud is now number one up top, while Eden Hazard comes back from his rest on the left.
Pedro’s arm injury is apparently not too bad, but there’s no reason to risk him when Willian is an able deputy.
