If you recall that Frank Lampard dropped points in their last game against Wolverhampton. It was 2-1 loss with Pedro Neto scoring the 90th minutes winner.
Lampard have named a strong side against the Hammers tonight. Although, the Blues manager sticks with Mendy in his goal and the only change in the back line happens to be Recce James.
The full back left the training ground on Monday due to injury while Cesar Azpilicueta has come in for him at right back.
Frank Lampard has also handed Jorginho a starting shirt ahead of Kai Havertz whi has been seriously criticised for his performance.
Havertz is yet to justify his transfer fee from Bayern Leverkusen, he has been finding it difficult to adapt to the Premier League.
The Blues also welcome back Christian Pulisic in the attack. The American has been struggling with fitness issues in the season. He will be supported by Mason Mount in the creativity side.
Frank Lampard has recalled Tammy Abraham who hasn't started the last few games, with Oliver Giroud preferred ahead of him.
Also, Timo Werner makes the squad despite his goal drought.
While Hakim Ziyech is still injured but Callum Hudson-Odoi is back.
For West Ham, David Moyes is still missing his talisman Michail Antonio who is the club's top scorer this season.
