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

Chelsea have officially named their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with London rivals West Ham United at the London Stadium in a Premier League game this afternoon.

The Blues won away at PAOK Salonika in midweek Europa League action and Maurizio Sarri used the opportunity to hand several players a chance to rest.




Liverpool won on Saturday, meaning Sarri will want his men to make no mistake as they look to keep pace with the Reds, but Chelsea must do without the injured Pedro Rodriguez.

World-record goalkeeping signing Kepa lines up between the sticks, while at the back Sarri goes with David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger as his centre-back pairing. N'Golo Kante lines up in midfield, along with Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic. Willian and Eden Hazard support Olivier Giroud.

Sarri has options on the bench if he wants to make changes at the London Stadium, including Cesc Fabregas and Alvaro Morata.
