West Ham United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: You choose the starting lineup

Chelsea left it late against AFC Bournemouth last weekend, but a win's a win and we now have a chance to make it two wins from three in the league as we visit the Olympic Stadium for a Saturday noon kickoff.

We hung five on the Hammers at the Bridge back in May; is it too much to ask for another handful?

We certainly have the talent, and the squad options to make something like that happen — and we almost do have our full squad available.

The one big absence continues to be Reece James, but both Malo Gusto and Roméo Lavia were back in the training this week and should be close to returning. Enzo Maresca might have some news on that in a few hours, but we'll call them questionable for now.

Enzo Fernández and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are much more probable to play, since their absence was due to illness rather than injury.

The fixture list gets decidedly busier after this week, with domestic cups and UEFA Conference League action on tap for the midweeks.

Choose wisely.
