West Ham United vs Chelsea: Confirmed XI

Premier League hostilities continue on Sunday bringing a London derby between West Ham United and Chelsea at the London Stadium.]

With the Blues looking for their first win of the season, this fixture marks the perfect opportunity to unleash its midfield signings of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo to announce Chelsea back into the premier league title contenders.

West Ham United on their own end are coming from a poor season that despite seeing a European title win, at one point was close to putting the Hammers in a relegation battle.

The Hammers however started the new season seemingly in stable form following a 1-1 stalemate against AFC Bournemouth last weekend on their return to league action. This feat will be tested as they host their London cousins at the London Stadium for what has always been a grudge tie.

For Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to get his first season as the Blues’ boss going, and like he promised, ‘there is no time to play nice guy’, begging the question, ‘Does Chelsea’s season start today against West Ham United?’

Here goes the confirmed lineup for both sides;
