Latest West Ham vs Chelsea team information
West Ham duo Emerson Palmieri (thigh) and Niclas Fullkrug (Achilles tendon) are doubts and will be assessed ahead of the game. If Emerson is not fit, Aaron Cresswell or Aaron Wan-Bissaka could deputise at left-back.
Michail Antonio has had a poor start to the season, so Lopetegui could start Danny Ings or Jarrod Bowen as a central striker. If Bowen is selected, Mohammed Kudus could play on the right wing, while Crysencio Summerville could make his debut on the left. Lucas Paqueta could also return as a number 10, replacing Tomas Soucek.
For 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, while Renato Veiga could be on the bench. New signing Jadon Sancho could start on either wing, replacing Pedro Neto or Noni Madueke.
