West Ham v Chelsea
Wednesday October 26th –
Kick-off at 7.45pm.
The Irons are taking this very seriously with just the two changes – Darren Randolph and Aaron Cresswell
Chelsea roll the dice and come up with seven changes. John Terry starts, as Nathaniel Chalobah and Michy Batshuayi also come in.
Guessing a bit but it looks like 3-5-1-1 : 3: Reid, Ogbonna, Kouyate ; Antonio, Noble, Obiang Fernandes,Cresswell; Payet , Lanzini. Or it could be Antonio up there and Lanzini in midfield. One or the other will be playing as a false centre forward by looks of it.
