West Ham vs Chelsea: Premier League London Derby - Live Updates, Stream & TV

Chelsea face West Ham in a Premier League clash, with new signing Moises Caicedo set to make his debut. Both teams are searching for their first win of the season.

Chelsea will be facing West Ham in a highly anticipated London derby as they continue under the management of Mauricio Pochettino. The Blues will be welcoming their new midfielder, Moises Caicedo, who recently joined the team in a £115 million move from Brighton.

Both teams are eager to secure their first wins of the season, adding to the intensity of the match. Chelsea has struggled in their previous visits to West Ham, winning only one out of their last six encounters, including two thrilling 3-2 defeats. In their last meeting at the London Stadium in February, Joao Felix's goal was equalized by Emerson Palmieri, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

The Premier League campaigns for both teams began with home draws. West Ham played out a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, failing to hold onto their lead at the Vitality Stadium. Chelsea, on the other hand, managed to peg back Liverpool and secure a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

West Ham does not have any injury concerns going into the match and has also added two new faces to their squad with the signings of Ward-Prowse and Alvarez. However, players like Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, and Trevoh Chalobah remain sidelined. Chelsea's Reece James is expected to be out for some time due to a hamstring injury sustained in the draw with Liverpool.

Chelsea's new signing, Moises Caicedo, will be available to make his debut for the team. West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, who scored a stunning goal in their previous match against Bournemouth, will be a key player to watch as he aims to break his season-record of 18 goals. Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez also impressed in their match against Liverpool with his high-intensity performance and superb passes.

David Moyes, West Ham's manager, expressed his desire to keep Lucas Paqueta in the team despite interest from bigger clubs. Pochettino, on the other hand, reflected on his first game in charge of Chelsea, expressing both satisfaction and disappointment with the draw against Liverpool.

Although Chelsea showed positive signs in their match against Liverpool, they are still a work in progress. West Ham is expected to have less possession but be effective on the counter-attack. The match promises to be an exciting clash between two determined teams.
