West Ham United are set to take on Chelsea in another thrilling Premier League London derby this weekend.
The Hammers, though only a few games into the season, remain unbeaten in clashes against their fellow capital clubs. Julen Lopetegui’s men secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace last month and managed a late 1-1 draw against Fulham in their most recent outing. Despite these encouraging results, it hasn’t been a blistering start for this revamped Irons side.
While the Spanish manager praised his team's resilience at Craven Cottage, he acknowledged there is still room for growth.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have made a relatively solid start under Enzo Maresca. Despite ongoing off-field turmoil, the Blues have not lost since their opening weekend defeat to Manchester City and are coming into this derby on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

Chelsea are set to see a boost in squad depth as several players are expected to be available for their clash, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Enzo Fernandez recovering from illness, and Malo Gusto (thigh) and Romeo Lavia back in full training. However, club captain Reece James remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.
Jadon Sancho, back in London on loan from Manchester United, made an impact off the bench by setting up Christopher Nkunku’s late winner against Bournemouth last Saturday. The winger is now pushing for his first start for Chelsea as they gear up to face West Ham.
Meanwhile, Joao Felix is also still in search of his first start since rejoining Chelsea. The Portuguese forward registered an assist on his debut in the 6-2 drubbing of Wolves but has since been limited to substitute appearances against Palace and Bournemouth.
