Chelsea
Chelsea will again be missing Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi this weekend, while Antonio Rudiger is also unavailable due to a groin problem.
Andreas Christensen appears to be fit despite picking up a knock against Arsenal, but the Denmark international could drop to the bench, with Tuchel is expected to shuffle his pack for this match.
Thiago Silva and Trevor Chalobah could both come into the back four, while there are also expected to be returns for Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech and Jorginho, with Romelu Lukaku set to drop out, having again found it difficult to make his mark against Arsenal on Wednesday.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; James, Chalobah, Silva, Alonso; Jorginho, Kante; Mount, Ziyech; Havertz, Werner
West Ham United
As for West Ham, Issa Diop and Kurt Zouma have recently joined fellow centre-back Angelo Ogbonna on the sidelines, handing Moyes a huge problem when it comes to picking a back two this weekend.
Declan Rice could ultimately be dropped back into the middle of the defence to play alongside Craig Dawson, with Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini playing alongside Tomas Soucek in midfield.
Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma are likely to operate in the wide areas, with Michail Antonio through the middle, so Nikola Vlasic is expected to drop down to the bench at Stamford Bridge.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Johnson, Dawson, Rice, Cresswell; Bowen, Fornals, Soucek, Lanzini, Benrahma; Antonio
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 West Ham United
