I guess that's a 4-2-3-1?

Fair play 😛

guys the team news is so last week. It's been out and posted for like 3 minutes.

Why does he have to insist on Havertz as CF? Fofana deserves a start IMO.

As a general rule I agree. Any specific reason this time? RLC springs to mind for me.

Think the teams a good shape. RLC offers more discipline than Gallagher or Mount and can help Enzo and Felix do their thing. 

Just landed from the US  first thing I do check the lineup 😂

As a 4-2-3-1, that looks like the best XI currently available ... no issues from me with Graham's choice today.

Chilwell looked well rusty in the last game, so Cucurella probably still just about deserves a start ahead of him. Fofana for Havertz was an option, but I can see why he wants to try Havertz with Felix behind/alongside him. Fofana is still pretty raw after all ... 

 

Come on Blues !!!! 

A lot of new players at the same time, really hope they’ve had time to gel. 
 

anyway, come on Chelsea!!! We got this. 🙌🏻

That was my take as well. Plus RLC is a big unit, and West Ham are typically quite a physical team. 

Shame Zakaria wasn't ready for this one, as I think he is the most natural choice alongside Fernandez.

Mount on the bench will have all the Twitter w**kers celebrating. RLC must be lacking a hell of a lot of match fitness by now though. 

Whoever we picked this is always a tough match, I just hope the players are aware it’s a derby and what it means.

Goodness. On paper this looks very unbalanced. Hope Enzo is ready to do a lot of work without the ball. RLC God bless him isn't known for putting in a shift defensively.

This feels very RDM post CL 2012, could be a very entertaining win or a very bad loss.

Potter has made the right calls to drop Mount, Gallagher and Ziyech.  Also no sign of Aubameyang or Koulibaly even on the bench, which most people would strongly agree with.

Would rather see Ziyech than Havertz to be honest. Obviously they don't play the same position but Havertz needs to be benched. Ziyech was at least decent recently. 

Benching Mount is a mistake, he would have had the motivation to show up here, I believe this is his type of a matchup.

Nothing wrong with the team selection, should be good enough. Just hope they are prepared for the physical battle, Spammers away is just the type of match that can suss out the Lightweight Larry’s.

I was hoping the team.news was a mistake and it was being corrected..RLC ffs Cucurella Ffs...Kai Ffs..

Enzo, Felix, Mudryk and Madueke.

Mount and Gallagher benched. 

What a team!
