West Ham United and Chelsea square off in a derby at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

James Ward-Prowse makes his debut for the hosts after his £30m move from Southampton, replacing Pablo Fornals in David Moyes’ starting XI.

Meanwhile, £4.0m goalkeeper Alphonse Areola continues in goal.

As for Chelsea, Malo Gusto comes in for the injured Reece James, suggesting Mauricio Pochettino will stick with the 3-4-2-1 formation he used against Liverpool in Gameweek 1.

Moises Caicedo is among the substitutes but fellow new signing Romeo Lavia fails to make the matchday squad.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Fabianski, Johnson, Cresswell, Ogbonna, Fornals, Cornet, Alvarez, Ings, Mubama

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Gusto, Enzo, Gallagher, Chilwell, Sterling, Chukwuemeka, Jackson

Subs: Bergstrom, Cucurella, Humphreys, Maatsen, Ugochukwu, Caicedo, Madueke, Mudryk, Burstow

Jackson looks lovely but you don’t get points for being lively. Think Alvarez might be the way to go with Haaland & Wissa.

Is Mudryk playing wingback or have they switched to a back four? Worrying for Chilly owners.

    Looks like back four with Colwill left back. Obviously doesn't trust Chilwell defensively.

A question: what would be the score now with Fabianski in goal?

A. Same same
B. 2-2
C. Chelsea 4+

Just asking, I like Fab, what a great keeper, but Areola seems sharp

    Was never going to have him or Nkunku in my team until the latter got injured. I guess there's some logic in there somewhere.

  I’m still gambling on him starting with Luton, but finishing does not look amazing. JPedro and Botman on the bench if it doesn’t work out. Great fixtures.
