Chelsea welcome West Ham United to Stamford Bridge in the weekend’s action in the Premier League with the Blues desperate for a return to form after a shaky start to the new season.
A dismal showing in the 2-1 defeat at Southampton from Chelsea on Tuesday night left Thomas Tuchel’s men in 10th place in the standings with questions being asked of the Blues who have failed to impress in the opening stages of the campaign.
