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

Bottomed...

Which is the better move? Have 2 FTs and 0 ITB

1) Joao Pedro + Shaw -> Jackson + Gusto
2) Joao Pedro + Salah -> Jackson + Mitoma/Mbeumo + 4.5 ITB

Johnstone // Turner
Chilwell Estu Gabriel Shaw // Kabore
Salah Saka Rashy Martinelli // Nakamba
Haaland JoaoPedro // Mubama

Highlight of the half for me was Carragher saying "this is Raheem Sterling at his best" after he took a poor touch, lost the ball and fell over

On wildcard currently, took out Rashford for Mbuemo. Looking at the fixtures, it feels Mbuemo will score more than Rashford in the coming 4/5 GWs. No?

    This aged well. He was probably the worst player today in his short appearance, not to mention giving that penalty away which finished the game for them.
