West Ham vs Chelsea
It may only be West Ham’s second game of the season but the pressure is already on boss Graham Potter, who welcomes his old side to London Stadium tonight.
A 3-0 loss to Sunderland got things off to a bad start for the Hammers, while Chelsea laboured to a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace despite their plethora of expensive attacking talent.
Both sides have a point to prove in tonight’s encounter. Kickoff is at 8pm BST.
