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

Chelsea need a goal scorer badly. Or at least wingers who can contribute to the goals when the striker has an off day

  He’s done OK in actual football terms… chasing a lot of balls, looking to hold up when isolated. But I’m not sure I see a FPL explosion waiting to happen - he didn’t get many chances, for example. Sterling their most dangerous attacking threat.

  Had a few chances, hasn't been able to make the most of it. Looked great running into chances though.
  
  I was never going to judge him against West Ham and their massively physical team. He'll have easier player profiles to come up against very soon.
  
  Always see this as a tricky fixture for us.

WHU CHE Takeaways:

Gusto started
Chillwell potential to not make 60mins in the future
Enzo on pens... but missed...
JWP is an option and you wouldn't know he didn't play for them last season
Bowen is class
Areola made some errors but looked good enough to retain place
Sterling somehow found unreal form from nowhere
Mudryk is terrible
