West Ham midfielder George Earthy is available to face Chelsea after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in early July. Luis Guilherme remains out with a shoulder problem, while Edson Alvarez is unlikely to be considered as he nears a move to Fenerbahce. Chelsea defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana are both fit to return to the matchday squad but Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile remain sidelined.
Key FPL notes: West Ham's new left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf (4.5m) led the Hammers for expected goal involvement in their season-opening loss at Sunderland, combining three shots - one of which forced a goal-line clearance - with two chances created. Cole Palmer (10.5m) is now without a goal from open play in 17 Premier League games following last weekend's blank against Crystal Palace. However, Chelsea's talisman did score on his most recent visit to the London Stadium last September.
