Chelsea will face West Ham United in their opening game of the new Premier League campaign and manager Antonio Conte will hope to start his reign with a win.
The Hammers were fantastic last season and finished three places above the Blues. Without doubt, Dimitri Payet will be the man to watch. Can Chelsea stop the French playmaker? We shall see.
As far as the team news is concerned, expect the Italian boss to start his new summer signings against West Ham. Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi may play as the lone striker up front in place of Diego Costa who started last weekend vs Werder Bremen.
On the other hand, French international N’Golo Kante will probably partner former Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas in the center of the park. The likes of Hazard, Oscar and Willian should start in the attacking midfield.
Here is Conte’s potential 4-2-3-1 XI for Chelsea vs West Ham.

It is better to keep B Traore at chelsea than Oscar.We have already seen fruits frim Traore.That young man can fire us to the top and why loaning him out.Traore should start upfront not Batshuayi who’s never found back of the net during preason friendlies
Ok but I thick Febregas have to move to number 10 to replace Oscar and Matic pairs with Kante that’s my thought
Also Conte have to get a centre back to replace aging pair.
Nice move. Costa is too temperemental, If conte keeps him as the first choice striker, he’ll definitely have a low performance cos alot of seasoned strikers and defenders have deflected into the EPL. @Oscar, i think he’s good but needs a change of club atm, traore is good but experience goes a long way.
