West Ham should be boosted by the return of Kostas Mavropanos to their defence and David Moyes is expected to make the Greek international his sole rotation.
West Ham predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Areola (GK) — Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson — Soucek, Alvarez — Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus — Antonio.

Chelsea’s season has not gone to plan as part of Pochettino’s return to Premier League football and the former Tottenham boss faces an uncertain summer at Stamford Bridge.
Moyes’ position at the London Stadium is also under question and with neither team in their most consistent moment of form they could cancel each other out.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 West Ham
