Chelsea have won 30 of the 56 Premier League meetings between the two – they’ve only beaten Tottenham more often in the division (35 times). The home team won both Premier League matches last season: 3-1 for West Ham at the London Stadium and 5-0 for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

LIVE! West Ham today host Chelsea in the Premier League’s early kick-off. It would be fair to say the Hammers are yet to have clicked under new manager Julen Lopetegui, winning only one of his opening four games in charge.

Emerson starts for West Ham against Chelsea today but Niclas Fullkrug misses out in the Premier League. Fullkrug, who joined the club from Borussia Dortmund this summer, missed the 1-1 draw with Fulham last weekend with an Achilles tendon injury sustained midway through the international break with Germany.
