West Ham United vs Chelsea Preview

West Ham head into their second match of the new season reeling from an opening day defeat to newly promoted Sunderland, as the Hammers got beaten 3-0 by the Black Cats. It was not the start to the season that Graham Potter had hoped for, especially following a positive pre-season. 

Chelsea head across the capital on the back of a goalless draw against another London side, Crystal Palace. The Blues had a lucky escape following a goal from Eberechi Eze's free kick being ruled out. Enzo Maresca’s side looked flat, despite fielding their new and promising-looking summer signings. However, they will take the positives of keeping a clean sheet with them to the London Stadium in the hope of securing three points to go alongside it.

Team News

• Chelsea - Tosin Adarabioyo is expected to have returned to training this week, but will most likely remain a doubt for Friday's fixture. Levi Colwill remains out, alongside Roméo Lavia and Benoît Badiashile. Nicholas Jackson is back available after serving his suspension last time out.

• West Ham - Crysencio Summerville is set to be out of the side until September, while George Earthy is also a doubt to make the fixture.
