West Ham can get their season going with a win against Chelsea
The Hammers have not started the season in the best shape but things could turn around quickly with a win against their cross-town rivals.
The Blues have faced struggles of their own and while they are above the Irons on the table, there are still plenty of issues in their squad.
Julen Lopetegui will be looking to galvanise his side after a busy transfer window with him getting the players he wants through the door.
The hope is that Jean-Clair Todibo will start making things extremely tough for the Chelsea attack on Saturday.
A number of the Hammers players have started the season slowly and this could just be the game to get their campaign going.
Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta are three players fans will want to see more of and hopefully, they can show up against Chelsea.
In other West Ham news, a Ballon d’Or contender made his decision after the Hammers’ attempt to sign him on a free transfer.
