# West Ham United: Fans react as Said Benrahma in line to start against Chelsea

**According to a report by Claret & Hugh, via [West Ham News](https://twitter.com/WHUFC_News/status/1385243403504570375), Said Benrahma is in line to make his first start since last month against Chelsea this afternoon, with many supporters flocking to this team news.**

Indeed, as per the club insiders, the Algerian will be given a shot by David Moyes as he continues to cope with [mounting injury problems](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php). Both Michail Antonio and Declan Rice are still out injured, while Arthur Masuaku is a ‘severe doubt’ according to [ExWHUemployee](https://twitter.com/exwhuemployee/status/1385653560935845892?s=21).

As a result, C&H claimed that Benrahma is in line to make his first start for West Ham [since their 3-3 draw at home to Arsenal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/said-benrahma/leistungsdaten/spieler/290532) five weeks ago.

Flocking to this team news, many West Ham fans appear overjoyed. However, one believes that while the 25-year-old doesn’t deserve the nod, his inclusion could point to Moyes playing a 4-4-2 formation, which is ‘very good news’.

Find some of the Irons fans’ verdicts below.
