20^th August 2023 – 17:30, London Stadium, London

West Ham and Chelsea will face each other to close the Premier League 2^nd round Sunday’s action. Both teams started the campaign with draws, so they will be looking for the first victory in the London Derby.

West Ham Preview & Team News

West Ham opened the 2023/24 season with a trip to Bournemouth, from which they returned home with a 1-1 draw. Despite being close to a victory, they conceded in the last ten minutes of the match but booked a positive start. The Hammers won’t want to repeat the previous campaign, where they struggled for survival until the final rounds. They aim for the top-half finish this time, but they will need to do that without Declan Rice, who moved to Arsenal. Gianluca Scamacca also left the club, but West Ham brought James Ward-Prowse and Edson Álvarez. David Moyes’s team will face the first tough challenge in the current season, as they’ll face the local rival, who has big ambitions this time.

Chelsea Preview & Team News

Like their opponents, Chelsea seeks improvement after a disappointing campaign. They opened the season with a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge with an exciting clash. Despite trailing 1-0 after 18 minutes into the game, Axel Disasi scored on his debut to level the score before halftime. Indeed, the Blues have spent a lot of money this summer (again), but they also reconstructed their squad and sold several players. Chelsea also had a decent pre-season, and they are confident enough to return home from this outing with all three points. We’ll see if Mauricio Pochettino’s side is capable of accomplishing that at London Stadium.
