THERE isn't anything West Ham will like more than tossing a spanner in progress of Chelsea's title slant – and Declan Rice represents the greatest danger to Thomas Tuchel's side.
The Blues have been doing great locally having not tasted defeat in the league for more than two months, so they ought to be sure of scoring up one more triumph on Saturday.
Yet, the Hammers have a player in Rice who is fit for taking the pioneers out of their step and leaving them in danger of following Liverpool in becoming shock losses at the London Stadium this season.
Injuries have left Chelsea boss Tuchel with little choice past Jorginho in midfield, and when he is on form he makes the Chelsea team tick with his intelligent utilization of the ball.
However the Hammers have looked leggy in the last few matches, the climate of the London derby will guarantee they will be right at it this end of the week and Rice and Soucek will be on a chase and obliterate occupation in midfield.
Rice who has been the key player in Westham team is the player Chelsea and Manchester United are fighting for. His form at Westham has help strengthen Westham midfield this season.
But Rice might consider Chelsea and sign for them due to his England team mate and childhood friend Mason Mount. He could be convinced by Mount to sign for the blues if only Westham allow him to leave.
