Chelsea continued their fantastic winning run as they qualified for the 5th round of the FA Cup beating Stoke 1-0.
The blues will be favorites when they face West Ham United in midweek at Stamford Bridge and will look to make six consecutive league wins in a row as they chase league leaders Arsenal.
As far as team news is concerned, winter signing Matic is expected to start his first premier league game since rejoining the club.
The Serbian star was brilliant against Stoke and is likely start alongside Brazilian international Ramires in the central midfield.
Willian started on the bench versus Stoke but may as well return to the starting XI in the premier league in place of Schurrle.
Other than that, Azpilicueta and captain John Terry are also expected to return to the lineup in place of Cole and Luiz respectively.
Here is Chelsea’s possible starting XI vs Hammers.

this is just the best starting eleven for our team. Please field this team Jose
I bloody hope this team doesn’t play against us. They’re too strong. Credit for Jose Mourinho for building on the remains of Di Matteo and Benitez. We have got to play Jarvo, Downing, Carroll and Noccerino. Make Mark Noble captain. And have discipline and play to our strengths. Not to concede free kicks near the 18 yard area. COYI
