West Ham United manager David Moyes will drop goalkeeper Joe Hart in favour of Adrian for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea, according to BBC Sport.

What's happened?

Hart, who signed for the Hammers from Manchester City on a season-long loan in the summer, has faced criticism for some of his performances this season.

The 30-year-old was forced to sit out of last weekend's 2-1 defeat to parent club City due to loan rules.

Adrian took his place and impressed between the sticks, leading Moyes to pick the Spaniard for this weekend's meeting with Chelsea at the London Stadium, reports BBC Sport.

Prior to the match against City, Hart had started every single one of the Hammers' Premier League games (14).

In that time, the team conceded 32 goals and kept just three clean sheets.

Is Moyes making the right call?

Some would argue that a game of this magnitude against an elite opponent should require a goalkeeper with experience of such fixtures.

Hart has won titles with City and would be the obvious choice, but it is clear that the England international has not been at the top of his game.

It is a slight risk for Moyes to throw in Adrian against a team like Chelsea considering that the Spaniard has spent most of the season so far warming the bench.

However, since taking over from Slaven Bilic last month, the manager is yet to win a game having lost three and drawn one.

Perhaps now is the right time to make a change, especially if Adrian has been impressing in training.
