Latest West Ham vs Chelsea team news
West Ham's Emerson Palmieri (thigh injury) and Niclas Fullkrug (Achilles tendon injury) are doubtful and will be tested before the match. If Emerson is unavailable, Aaron Cresswell or Aaron Wan-Bissaka could replace him at left-back.
Michail Antonio has had a poor start to the season, so manager Lopetegui may opt to start Danny Ings or Jarrod Bowen at center forward. If Bowen is chosen, Mohammed Kudus could play on the right wing, while Crysencio Summerville could make his debut on the left. Lucas Paqueta is also likely to return at number 10 in place of Tomas Soucek.
Regarding Chelsea, Reece James remains absent due to a hamstring injury, but Romeo Lavia, Malo Gusto, Enzo Fernandez, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have trained and could return to the squad. Gusto could replace Axel Disasi at right-back, while Fernandez is expected to partner Moises Caicedo in midfield, and Renato Veiga may be on the bench. New signing Jadon Sancho could start on one of the wings, replacing Pedro Neto or Noni Madueke.
