**LONDON** – Jadon Sancho is set to make his first start for Chelsea in their Premier League clash against West Ham United, as manager Enzo Maresca rings in three changes to his lineup. The 24-year-old England international earns his place after a standout substitute performance against Bournemouth and a strong week of training.
Sancho will replace Pedro Neto on the left wing, while Enzo Fernandez returns to midfield after missing the Bournemouth match due to illness. He replaces Renato Veiga, and will also captain the team. The final change sees Tosin Adarabioyo start at center-back, with Axel Disasi dropping to the bench.
Chelsea’s starting lineup looks like this: Sanchez; Fofana, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo (c); Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson. The Blues will be hoping for a strong performance from Sancho and their new-look midfield as they aim to secure a positive result away from home.
Meanwhile, West Ham will field Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez, Rodriguez, Paqueta; Summerville, Bowen, Kudus.
