Emerson starts for West Ham against Chelsea today but Niclas Fullkrug misses out in the Premier League. Fullkrug, who joined the club from Borussia Dortmund this summer, missed the 1-1 draw with Fulham last weekend with an Achilles tendon injury sustained midway through the international break with Germany.

Good morning and welcome to live coverage of West Ham United vs Chelsea from the Premier League. The visitors are looking to make it five wins on the spin away from home in the competition in a record dating back to last season, while Julen Lopetegui’s men are on the hunt for their first points at the London Stadium in this campaign.

The four who definitely aren’t afterthoughts are Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, Noni Madueke, and Christopher Nkunku. Nicolas Jackson doesn’t quite make the cut at 44%, while Pedro Neto is the next closest at a measly 21% — still more than Félix (13%) or Mykhailo Mudryk (1%).
