Chelsea unleash FIVE new signings against West Ham but drop two key men as fans go wild for ‘perfect lineup’
CHELSEA have unleashed FIVE new signings against West Ham.
Graham Potter has placed his trust in the new recruits and Chelsea fans are delighted with the line-up.
Joao Felix returns from suspension to make his second Chelsea appearance, having been sent off on his debut.
And he is joined in attack by Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke, who will make his full debut.
Enzo Fernandez is also in the XI to make his second appearance after helping the Blues keep a clean sheet in his debut against Fulham last week.
Fellow January buy Benoit Badisahile also starts in the heart of defence alongside Thiago Silva, who captains the side.
Reece James and Marc Cucurella have been picked as full-backs with Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal and Kai Havertz up-front.
The new additions being brought in and Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s return from injury means there is no space for two key Chelsea players – Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher.
But some Chelsea fans are pleased Mount has been left following his drop in form this season.
One supporter said: “Mount dropped lets go.”

Another added: “Finally a good lineup. We should win this easily.”
A third excited supporter said: “What we love to see.”
