Moises Caicedo and Benoit Badiashile have dropped an early team news hint ahead of Chelsea's clash against West Ham. The Blues welcome David Moyes' side to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, knowing a win could see them finish the weekend in seventh.
Chelsea will be determined to extend their unbeaten streak following a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening. The west London outfit have recently climbed into eighth place as Mauricio Pochettino plots a late – and certainly ambitious – bid for Europa League qualification.
The Blues are only five points behind Newcastle United, who are sixth. As for the Hammers, they're also looking to climb the table after picking up just three wins from their last 10 Premier League games.
Nevertheless, Caicedo and Badiashile have both posted pre-match graphic previews of the West Ham fixture to their respective Instagram stories. Historically, this suggests that they will be involved in some capacity.
The duo could very well be joined by Christopher Nkunku and Levi Colwill too, who have been sidelined for a while now due to injury. Speaking to reporters ahead of the London derby, Pochettino was asked to provide an update.
«It's a good thing that the players need to arrive from injury feeling that they need to make the effort. It's not because you are a big name, you have pride to come here and go to play in the way that you want.
