Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up in Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Chelsea will again be without the services of key central defender Antonio Rudiger for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.

The Germany international missed out against Arsenal on Wednesday due to a groin problem and has not recovered in time for the contest with the Hammers.

Mateo Kovacic is also still out with an ankle problem, while Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) and Ben Chilwell (knee) remain long-term absentees for the European champions.

Andreas Christensen is expected to be fit despite picking up a knock in the 4-2 loss to Arsenal, but the Denmark international is likely to drop down to the bench for this match.

Thiago Silva and Trevor Chalobah could both come into the back four, while there are also expected to be returns for Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech and Jorginho on Sunday afternoon.

Romelu Lukaku was given the nod through the middle against Arsenal, but the Belgium international is unlikely to start here, with Havertz set to feature alongside Timo Werner.

Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante should both keep their spots in midfield, while Reece James and Marcos Alonso are likely to feature at the back despite the pair having difficult nights against the Gunners.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; James, Chalobah, Silva, Alonso; Jorginho, Kante; Mount, Ziyech; Havertz, Werner
