Chelsea shook off a rusty start to the season by thumping West Ham last week, and did it without their talisman Cole Palmer. The Blues boasted five different goalscorers on Friday night at the London Stadium, with new signing Joao Pedro scoring one and assisting two more.

Cole Palmer was scratched from Chelsea's starting lineup versus West Ham United following an injury in warm-ups, and Enzo Maresca addressed his star player's status after the game.
