POTENTIAL WESTHAM LINEUP TO PLAY CHELSEA

​West Ham open up their campaign on Monday night with a lot to prove after falling away at the end of last season, but Slaven Bilic's men have been handed a pretty tough start away to Chelsea. 

This is the team who are likely to kick off the campaign. 

Goalkeeper

  • Adrián

​Barring a lightning strike or similar spot of bizarre misfortune, Adrian is the man. End of.

Defence

  • Antonio

  • Reid

  • Ogbonna

  • Masuaku

Michail Antonio looks set to be entrenched as the least right-back-y right-back in modern memory, leaving ​Winston Reid with possibly a little extra work to do on the right-hand side of the defence. 

Angelo Ogbonna will likely be the man alongside Reid, while summer signing Arthur Masuaku likely to plug the gap left by Aaron Cresswell's pre-season injury. 

Midfield

  • Kouyaté
    Kouyaté
  • Nordtveit

  • Noble

​One of two absolute steals by the Hammers in the summer transfer window, Håvard Nordtveit is likely to make his Premier League debut for the club at the first possible opportunity. 

Alongside him, Cheikhou Kouyaté and England nearly-man Mark Noble should sit in behind a dynamic and diverse front trio. 

Forwards

  • Ayew
    Ayew
  • Carroll

  • Feghouli

​Speaking of club debuts...Sofiane Feghouli and Andre Ayew are odds-on to kick off their Hammers careers at the Bridge. 

With Manuel Lanzini and Diafra Sakho both out injured - and Dimitri Payet still recovering from Euro 2016 - selection for their pair either side of Andy Carroll is likely to be more or less a formality. Later in the season, things will get less clear.
