Fixture: West Ham United vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 13:30 (UK time)

West Ham United have named their side and substitutes to welcome Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea side to the London Stadium for a Premier League fixture this afternoon.

Manuel Pellegrini eased some of the pressure that had been building by leading his side to a win at Everton last weekend in what was the Hammers' first league win of the campaign.




Pellegrini must make do without Jack Wilshere for the visit of Chelsea, with the midfielder having had minor ankle surgery. Marko Arnautovic also misses out.

Lukasz Fabianski takes his spot in goal for West Ham, while in defence Pellegrini goes with Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop as the centre-back pairing. Pedro Obiang and Mark Noble will look to boss midfield, while Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko support Michail Antonio.

If the West Ham manager needs to make changes he can look to his bench, where options available to him include Carlos Sanchez and Robert Snodgrass.
