Chelsea is looking to end their recent poor form against the neighbors West Ham – as former Blues Graham Potter boss returns to Stamford Bridge.
The Enzo Maresca side could return to the top four with a win and Chelsea has lost only one of the last 12 Premier League games on a Monday night.
Hammers start in the 15th place on the table-but have Jarrod Bowen back.
Potter told Sky Sports: “Jarrod is our captain and a top player who worked really hard to return. It’s a push for players.”
See how the sides are aligning.
