Enzo Maresca has answered the question on whether winger Estevao Willian will be starting against West Ham tonight or not.
Chelsea play The Hammers tonight at 8pm in what will be there second Premier League game of the new campaign after drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace on the opening weekend last weekend in front of the Stamford Bridge faithful.
Tonight is a big game for Chelsea and one they really must win if they want to be up there challenging with the top clubs this season even if we are only on game number two. West Ham are a poor side and we need to be beating them.

In the same press conference, Maresca was asked about starting Esetvao Willian after his impressive start to life as a Chelsea player.
When asked if Estevao could start against West Ham, Maresca said:
“He needs a path, he is very young, so we have to be careful. He can be an option from the start, for sure, after the Palace performance. We will decide.”
I actually think he will start because West Ham will be stubborn and in a low block so we need more creative players to unlock them.
Estevao has looked very good so far so also probably deserves a start.
