West Ham vs Chelsea Lineups and Last Match
West Ham
West Ham came away with a point from their trip to Bournemouth last weekend but will have been disappointed not to have won the game. The first-half ended goalless but early in the second, Bowen fired the Hammers in front after good work from Soucek who claimed an assist. As the game got closer to the final whistle, it looked like West Ham might secure a 1-0 victory, however, Bournemouth earned a share of the spoils thanks to an 82nd-minute equaliser.
Predicted Lineup – Areola (GK), Coufal, Zouma, Emerson, Aguerd, Souček, Fornals, Paquetá, Antonio, Benrahma & Bowen
Chelsea
Chelsea faced a very tough opening game of the season at home to Liverpool and managed to come away with a point. Pochettino's side played some good football in this game and already look likely to enjoy a better season than the previous campaign. However, Liverpool took the lead in this game after 18-minutes but Chelsea equalised through Disasi before the break and the second forty-five failed to produce any further goals. Nkunku, Broja, Bettinelli and Fofana have been ruled out of this weekend's clash and there remains doubt over the fitness of James, Chalobah and Badiashile
Predicted Lineup – Sánchez (GK), Silva, Chilwell, Disasi, James, Colwill, Gallagher, Fernández, Chukwuemeka, Sterling & Jackson
Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Jarrod Bowen
With Declan Rice leaving the club this summer, Jarrod Bowen is now the star name in the West Ham side, a player that the fans look to for inspiration.
As we saw last weekend, Bowen provided that inspiration in the form of the Hammers' opening goal against the Cherries, though it wasn't enough to win the game.
The 26-year-old scored 6-goals in the Premier League last season, half the amount he managed in the previous campaign, but he helped West Ham to the Conference League trophy and we expect him to get back into double figures in 2023/24.
