West Ham United and Graham Potter’s Chelsea team will face off in a crucial match at the London Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League’s second round of games. This season, West Ham United have failed to live up to expectations, placing them 17th in the Premier League standings.
The visitors, who held Newcastle United to a 1-1 draw last week, will attempt to up their game in this match. On the other hand, Chelsea is currently in ninth place in the league table and has also lied so far.
In their previous match, the Blues were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Fulham, so they will need to be more clinical this weekend.

West Ham vs Chelsea Team news :
Maxwell Cornet (calf) and Kurt Zouma (thigh) of West Ham are both out with injuries, and Gianluca Scamacca, who was seen training this week, is getting closer to returning from a knee injury. Alphonse Areola has a hamstring injury and is a big question for Chelsea’s visit.
Thilo Kehrer, on the other hand, was forced off at halftime at St. James’ Park with a hamstring problem and is also a big question for Saturday. Ben Johnson might be recalled to the back three in the event that Kehrer isn’t available, but Moyes probably won’t make many changes to his starting lineup otherwise.
Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen could continue to support Michail Antonio in attack, while January signing Danny Ings will be vying for his first Hammers start. Paqueta is expected to join captain Declan Rice, who is in high demand.
N’Golo Kante (hamstring), Edouard Mendy (finger), Christian Pulisic (both knees), Armando Broja (both knees), Raheem Sterling (both knees), Wesley Fofana (both knee), Denis Zakaria (thigh), and Mateo Kovacic (calf) are all questionable and will be evaluated prior to kickoff for Chelsea.
Reece James and Ben Chilwell returned to the Blues, making their first appearances since 2023 in the draw with Fulham after absences due to injuries. Both fullbacks could start on Saturday.
