Chelsea unchanged:

.....................Courtois....................
.......Azpilicueta..Luiz..Cahill...........
Moses....Fàbregas....Kanté....Alonso
...........Pedro..............Hazard..........
.......................Costa.......................

Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Loftus-Cheek, Matic, Willian, Batshuayi, Terry.

Shame that Hazard is fit after a niggle as he's been class the last couple of games - give him a little dig early doors maybe?

Right, going down the pub, see you all after the match COYI

Vorselaarhammer

I would have preferred a 3 man MF.

EXETERHAMMER

Carroll vs Luiz could be an interesting battle

SuzanneClaret

Home win.

Because I'm not there. Too sick to go to the game ;puzzled

How can you be too sick to attend? If you live in the are there aren't many excuses I'd accept, two of which would be giving birth or being in a coma.

Now since you are posting here I don't think you are in a coma and I very much doubt you could adhere to the site rules on swearing if you were giving birth

Off you go. Get yer coat and onto the tube

Good start by us so far. Plenty of commitment from all of our players.

buffybegood

Seems the best atmosphere I've seen at the London Stadium this season.

Yeoldhammer

uh-oh

buffybegood

Shot ourselves in the foot again.

Deanscaleshammer

How often have we been exposed from our own profligacy when in possession or at set pieces this season? After a fantastic start we are the cause of our own downfall.

Yeoldhammer

please not a 5 goal demolition job

Hantshammer

Noble dithering! Only had to cros ball in penalty area-cost us.

Like wot I said ;biggrin

Vorselaarhammer

;doh

thornburyiron

They're romping away with the league so they don't need our help.

Hammerwombat

Early days, still an hour to sort things out. ;whistle

Vorselaarhammer

We played well which just makes it all the more annoyiny, just cross the ball....

SuzanneClaret

They are so much better than us in every area of the pitch but we are giving a good account of ourselves. A couple of very good corners from Snoders and some good attacking play.

Yeoldhammer

Luiz , Cahill , Courtouis have the measure of Carroll.

TwistandShout

Come on west ham put some challenges in, we are showing them too much respect

thornburyiron

They are beginning to look as if they can score anytime they get near.

SuzanneClaret

Has anyone else noticed Sky turning the crowd noise up and down?

thornburyiron

We're out scoring them in treatments.

SuzanneClaret

Not a bad first half.

;scarf

Vorselaarhammer

I have some hope, we've done ok.

Let's see what both managers do but I think we have a chance for some points.

Yeoldhammer

Donno if we should keep playing like this and holding out for a narrow defeat or a lucky goal. Or switch it up get more aggressive to try force a goal or something to happen and risk conceding more.

Lukerz

Shame we ruin any decent home performance by shooting ourselves in the foot.

First 25 and they know they're in a game. Stupid goal. Easy street since.
