'Sarri has seen the light!' - Chelsea fans are ecstatic after seeing the starting XI vs West Ham

Chelsea fans are ecstatic over Maurizio Sarri's team selection for their game with West Ham after he kept both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the starting XI.

He started the pair in the 3-0 victory over Brighton last week with both having an impact on the match, with the 18-year-old bagging an assist while Loftus-Cheek netted himself a lovely goal in the second half.

Fans had been calling for the Italian to start with them more often but those calls had previously fallen on deaf ears, but it looks like the manager may finally be listening to calls to start his young English talent.

It's Hudson-Odoi's second start in the Premier League and his tenth for Chelsea and fans on social media are very excited at the prospect of seeing him and his countryman start from the off in the Premier League once more.

They will be hoping that both can have the same impact they had on Wednesday night as the Blues look to break into the Champions League spot with a win against the Hammers tonight.

Social media would be an even better sight if that were to happen, but in the meantime, the fans have taken to it to speak about their excitement over Sarri's choices this evening.
