While the pressure piles onto Manuel Pellegrin, who looks pretty much set to share the fate of Unai Emery and Mauricio Pochettino, Frank Lampard’s debut season as a Premier League manager is going fantastically.
West Ham United, who currently sit one place above the relegation zone will be hosted by Chelsea who are pushing for a top-three finish.
And their great form is down to the performances of certain players such as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and most importantly, Mateo Kovacic.
And that’s who we think will be Chelsea’s dangerman on Saturday.
MATEO KOVACIC
After arriving at the Stamford Bridge on loan last season the Croatian has impressed so much that Chelsea decided to splash £40m to tie him up permanently.
The midfielder has already scored one goal and assisted twice while averaging one key pass per game. His overall possession play has been brilliant as his pass completion rate is as high as 91%.
To even have a chance of keeping his job, Manuel Pellegrini will have to find a way to close down the host’s midfield, which certainly won’t be an easy task.
