Slav has one big decision for Chelsea game

Slaven Bilic has one major decision to make as he looks at his team selection for tonight’s clash against Chelsea at the London Stadium.

All the reports we are getting here at ClaretandHugh are that bar any late accidents Andy Carroll is fit to return for his first match since the Southampton win.

But the manager has to decide whether he is going to stick with Sofiane Feghouli – who has found some form over recent games – or opt to give record signing Andrew Ayew his chance as the man to play off the target man.

It seems the odds are tipped slightly in favour of the Ghana international getting the nod  in a side which will see Michail Antonio missing through suspension.

The rest of the team picks itself and we expect the line-up to look like this: Randolph, Kouyate, Reid, Fonte Cresswell; Snodgrass, Noble, Obiang, Lanzini, Ayew Carroll: Subs: Adrian, Byram, Nortveidt, Fernandes, Collins, Feghouli, Calleri
