Chelsea preview: Disappointing against Man City
The evening started so brightly for Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium last weekend as Noni Madueke fired the visitors in front after just three minutes.
However, failure to add a second goal while they were on top in this game cost Chelsea dearly as City equalised just before the break and added two further goals in the second half to win the match 3-1.
Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Romeo Lavia, Mykhailo Mudryk and Omari Kellyman won't be available for selection this weekend through one reason or another.
Predicted lineup: Sanchez (GK), Cucurella, Chalobah, James, Colwill, Palmer, Fernandez, Caicedo, Sancho, Madueke & Jackson

West Ham preview: Hard-earned point at Villa
West Ham made the tricky trip to Villa Park last time out but managed to come away with a decent point after going behind in the eighth minute.
The Hammers scored their equaliser via an unlikely source in the 70th minute when defender Emerson got on the end of an Edson Alvarez cross to head home his fourth league goal for the club in three seasons.
Michail Antonio, Jean-Clair Todibo, Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug make up the major injury concerns for the Hammers ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Predicted lineup: Areola (GK), Mavropanos, Coufal, Emerson, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Soucek, Soler, Paqueta, Alvarez & Kudus

Player to watch: Nicolas Jackson
Nicolas Jackson scored 14 times in the Premier League last season, despite not being considered an out-an-out striker during his time in Sapin with Villarreal.
The 2024/25 campaign has seen Jackson score nine times in 22 Premier League appearances but the Senegal forward has failed to find the back of the net in any of his last eight matches across all competitions.
Will the Senegal striker end his goal drought on Monday?
Jackson is still doing his part for the club as we saw against Man City when he set up the opening goal of the game but he will be desperate to end his goal drought on Monday night as there is talk of Chelsea looking to invest in a new striker.
