Mon Feb 03 19:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Chelsea Make Two Changes for Crucial West Ham Clash
**London, England –** Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has rung in two changes to his starting XI for tonight’s crucial Premier League London derby against West Ham United. The Blues, currently sixth in the table, are aiming for a victory to catapult them back into the top four.
Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen replaces Rob Sanchez between the posts, while defender Tosin Adarabioyo returns to the heart of the defence, replacing Trevoh Chalobah. The rest of the backline sees Reece James, Colwill, and Cucurella. Midfield remains unchanged, with the familiar pairing of Caicedo and Fernandez supporting a front three of Madueke, Palmer, and Sancho, who will look to supply Jackson upfront. A strong bench including the likes of Nkunku and Neto offers Maresca plenty of attacking options.
West Ham have also made two changes, with Jarrod Bowen returning to the starting lineup and Andy Irving earning his first Premier League start.
The match promises to be a tight encounter, with both teams eager for three points. A win for Chelsea would significantly boost their Champions League aspirations.
