Chelsea vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League team news and line-ups as Robert Sanchez dropped – UK Times

Enzo Maresca has made two changes to the side that lost 3-1 to Manchester City.

In goal, Robert Sanchez drops out for Filip Jorgensen, while in defence, Tosin Adarabioyo comes in for Trevoh Chalobah.

West Ham XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Coufal, Kilman, Cresswell, Emerson, Soucek, Irving, Soler, Bowen, Kudus.

Subs: Fabianski, Foderingham, Mavropanos, Guilherme, Ings, Rodriguez, Casey, Scarles, Orford.

Chelsea XI: Jorgensen; James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson.

Subs: Sanchez, Chalobah, Gusto, Acheampong, Nkunku, George, Neto, Guiu, Dewsbury-Hall.

Line-ups should be released in around five minutes, so here’s a reminder of the early team news.

In his pre-match conference, Enzo Maresca said that the squad will be the same as that which was available to him for the loss against City.

That means that Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile remain sidelined, while Wesley Fofana is a longer-term absentee.

Perhaps the biggest question mark is over who will start in goal after Robert Sanchez’s mistakes last week, with the rest of the 11 likely to be similar.

For West Ham, Graham Potter has stated that he is hopeful of having Jarrod Bowen return in time to face Chelsea, while he is also optimistic that Lucas Paqueta could return after suffering a groin problem against Villa.

Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Füllkrug remain sidelined, as does defender Jean-Clair Todibo. However, Konstantinos Mavropanos is back after serving a suspension.

There may also be competition at that point from Manchester United, who have a long-standing interest in the Swiss international.

Chelsea have started to consider their goalkeeping situation after some high-profile errors from current No. 1 Robert Sanchez.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said goalkeeper Robert Sanchez cannot “make a mistake every game” and expect to keep his place as he hinted he could turn to understudy Filip Jorgensen for Monday’s game against West Ham.

The former Brighton keeper has made five mistakes leading directly to goals this season, most recently in the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City last weekend when he was caught badly out of position allowing Erling Haaland to give City the lead.

Chelsea fans also cheered ironically whenever the 27-year-old caught the ball during the second half of their victory over Wolves at Stamford Bridge after he had earlier gifted the visitors an equalising goal by dropping the ball at a corner.

While West Ham have had a couple of more positive results in recent weeks, the 2-0 loss to Palace is a reminder that the Hammers still struggle against better sides, even after improving under Graham Potter.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.

West Ham XI: Areola; Coufal, Kilman, Cresswell; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Alvarez, Emerson; Kudus, Soler, Paqueta.
