Enzo Maresca has backed Robert Sanchez as his first-choice goalkeeper throughout the season, but with five mistakes leading to goals—the most in the Premier League—his position is now under scrutiny. Ahead of Chelsea’s match against West Ham, Maresca admitted he has yet to decide whether Sanchez or deputy Filip Jorgensen will start. Jorgensen, who has only started two league games this season, has impressed in limited appearances, prompting speculation about a change between the posts. Maresca acknowledged that while Sanchez was always his number one, mistakes will not be tolerated indefinitely, leaving the door open for Jorgensen to feature against the Hammers.
- Maresca has not yet decided whether Sanchez or Jorgensen will start against West Ham.
- Sanchez has made a Premier League-high five errors leading to goals this season.
- Filip Jorgensen has impressed in his limited appearances and could be given a chance.

- West Ham manager Graham Potter returns to Stamford Bridge, adding further intrigue to the fixture.
A decision on Chelsea’s goalkeeper dilemma is expected before Monday’s match, as Maresca looks to steady his team’s defence.
