Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they host West Ham United in a London derby on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues are currently third in the table, five points ahead of Arsenal, while West Ham are seventh, five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Team Updates
Chelsea will be without Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, and Callum Hudson-Odoi again this weekend, while Antonio Rudiger is out with a groin injury.
Andreas Christensen appears to be fit despite picking up a knock against Arsenal, but the Denmark international may be relegated to the bench, as Tuchel is expected to shuffle his lineup for this game.
Thiago Silva and Trevor Chalobah could both come into the the back four, While Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, and Jorginho are expected to return, Romelu Lukaku is expected to miss out after struggling to make an impact against Arsenal on Wednesday.
West Ham's Issa Diop and Kurt Zouma have recently joined fellow centre-back Angelo Ogbonna on the sidelines, posing a major problem for Moyes in terms of selecting a back two this weekend.
Declan Rice could eventually be moved back into the middle of the defense to partner Craig Dawson, with Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini partnering Tomas Soucek in midfield.
Because Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma are likely to operate in wide areas, with Michail Antonio running through the middle, Nikola Vlasic is expected to drop to the bench at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; James, Chalobah, Silva, Alonso; Jorginho, Kante; Mount, Ziyech; Havertz, Werner
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Johnson, Dawson, Rice, Cresswell; Bowen, Fornals, Soucek, Lanzini, Benrahma; Antonio
PREDICTION : Chelsea 1-1 West Ham United
