Chelsea, as reigning world champions, travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham. The match presents an opportunity for Chelsea to increase pressure on West Ham manager Graham Potter. West Ham suffered a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland last weekend, which disappointed their fans and raised concerns about Potter's job security. Chelsea won the Club World Cup over the summer, but they failed to secure a Premier League opening win after a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. A Chelsea victory at the London Stadium would compound West Ham's early-season problems and intensify scrutiny of Potter's position.
World champions Chelsea will hope to ramp up the pressure on West Ham boss Graham Potter tonight when the teams clash at the London Stadium.
The Hammers' 3-0 defeat at Sunderland last weekend was not the start their fans had been hoping for and another setback against their London rivals would not be good for Potter's job prospects.
Chelsea claimed the Club World Cup over the summer but couldn't get a win on the opening weekend of the Premier League season after drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
