Chelsea face West Ham United on Monday night in the Premier League. It will be a fascinating clash of past and present as Graham Potter returns to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea were unable to hold on to their lead from last weekend, while West Ham, despite a good effort, were held to a draw by Aston Villa in the last round.
Latest Chelsea vs West Ham team information
Maresca has confirmed that Chelsea will have a similar squad for the match, meaning Mykhaylo Mudryk, Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile will all be absent. Robert Sanchez made a direct error leading to Haaland's goal against Man City. The Spaniard has made five errors leading to goals this season, a Premier League record, but Jorgensen looks set to be used in the match, despite Maresca's frustration with Sanchez this season.
Meanwhile, Potter has some good news on Jarrod Bowen's injury. He has been training for the past few days and is in line to play in the upcoming London derby. Lucas Paqueta is also recovering, but will need more time to assess. Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Jean-Clair Todibo are also sidelined. Greek international Mavropanos has also completed his suspension and could return to the starting line-up in Potter's back three. Aaron Cresswell will have to compete with other players for his place in the team.

Latest Chelsea vs West Ham football review
After a series of disappointing results, Chelsea has shown some stability when they have won 2 consecutive victories and 2 draws in the past matches in January, the very important points in the recent period have helped The Blues gradually stabilize the ship that is somewhat off course. The loss to Man City in the last round of the weekend showed that the team still cannot overcome the big opponents.
Manchester City showed a great dominance over Maresca's army even though they took the lead with a somewhat lucky goal from Madueke. It can be seen in the last match that when pushed into a difficult position, Chelsea still shows a lack of stability. The recent matches help us see that Chelsea is no longer a rival to the group of teams aiming to win the Premier League, and a position in the top 7 for the team at the moment also seems very difficult when looking at their opponents at the moment. Perhaps the team will need more impressive results if they still want to have titles at the end of the season.
Chelsea have also been unable to maintain their form in recent matches, with just one win in seven Premier League games. They have also scored the opening goal in five of their last six games, but the advantage they have created has only lasted for a short time. One thing they have yet to overcome is the constant loss of points at home, especially after conceding in 10 of their last 11 home games.
As for West Ham, the recent victory was partly due to the instability of the opponent, when defender Tyrone Mings had to leave the field early, creating conditions for the home team's strikers to continuously have opportunities. West Ham have played very well in the recent past when they have continuously created certain dominance on the opponent's goal. However, they are still considered to have missed quite regrettable scoring opportunities in the recent match. The recent past will probably bring regrets to West Ham fans, when looking back at Potter's peak period at Chelsea in 2022, before he had a very sad ending with The Blues, a season in which Potter did not leave any mark when he often suffered disastrous defeats. But when returning to London in this derby, Potter is aiming to win against his old team, and whether he can do it or not. Graham Potter has never beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and looks like he has little chance of doing so now, with just one away goal to his name. West Ham's recent head-to-head record is also poor, with a 3-0 home defeat and a 5-0 defeat at the end of last season's Premier League campaign.
