David Moyes will undoubtedly start Pablo Fornals for West Ham against Chelsea tomorrow afternoon after Said Benrahma’s horror show vs Newcastle.

The Hammers play host to Chelsea tomorrow at the London Stadium in the 12:30 Premier League kick-off.

We desperately need a win tomorrow, in order to separate ourselves from the bottom three.

Chelsea are really in need of all three points as well, with the Champions League places beginning to drift away from heir grasp.

Tomorrow will be a really tough game, bit we’re more than capable of getting a result. And I believe Moyes will bring one player back into the mix…

David Moyes will probably start Pablo Fornals for West Ham vs Chelsea

Said Benrahma put in one of his worst performances yet in a West Ham shirt against Newcastle last weekend.

Now, I love Benrahma and will always stand up for him. However, the same cannot be said for Moyes. The Scot clearly isn’t a big fan of the Algerian.

And I have no doubt in my mind that Moyes will drop Benrahma for tomorrow’s clash with Chelsea.

The obvious replacement for the Algerian is Pablo Fornals. Now, I haven’t got a problem with the Spaniard coming into the team, as long as Moyes doesn’t shunt him out on the left wing!

The West Ham boss can set his team up in a 3-4-1-2 formation with Fornals slotted in behind two strikers – Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio or Danny Ings.

The Spaniard should excel in that particular role and then we would at least have the option of Benrahma from the bench.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I would like Benrahma to start the game tomorrow, in spite of his poor performance against Newcastle last weekend.

West Ham need to beat Chelsea, and I believe that Moyes will go with Fornals instead of Benrahma to give us the best chance of doing just that.
