Manager Frank Lampard has handed Tammy Abraham a starting berth in their tie against West Ham United at London Stadium on Wednesday night.
Abraham comes in for Olivier Giroud who was preferred in Chelsea’s win against Manchester City during their last time out with the other positions virtually remaining the same.
West Ham is desperate for a win to move away from the bottom of the table, while Frank Lampard and Chelsea need three points to keep Manchester United at bay in the race for the top four.
West Ham United Starting XI: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals, Antonio.
Subs: Balbuena, Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson, Wilshere, Ajeti, Xande Silva, Randolph, Johnson, Lewis.
Chelsea Starting XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Alonso, Barkley, Kante, Kovacic, Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.
Subs: Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Caballero, Zouma, Giroud, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, James, Gilmour.
