A fierce London rivalry resumes on Friday night as West Ham welcome Chelsea to the London Stadium.
While the atmosphere will be intense, recent history suggests the Blues will fancy their chances of picking up the points. Chelsea have consistently had the upper hand in this fixture over the past few years, including victories in both of last season's encounters.
With both teams coming off frustrating league outings, there’s plenty at stake in Friday night's Premier League showdown.

West Ham team overview
West Ham face their first competitive home fixture of the season after a painful 3:0 defeat against recently promoted Sunderland last weekend. In a relatively evenly-balanced contest, the Black Cats roared to victory with their efficiency in front of goal proving the difference at the Stadium of Light.
The Hammers had enjoyed a decent pre-season campaign, winning three and losing just one of five friendly fixtures before last weekend's disastrous opening day defeat.
Yet to find their feet under former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, the Hammers won just two while slipping to defeat in six of their last 12 PL games since March.
Head coach Potter is likely to make some changes to his first XI on Friday. Czech midfielder Tomáš Souček is among those expected to return to the side.

Chelsea team overview
Chelsea make the short trip to the London Stadium looking to claim their first Premier League victory of the season. A frustrating start to the campaign saw the Blues held to a goalless draw against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Chelsea capped off a superb summer by lifting the FIFA Club World Cup, sealing a dominant 3-0 win over PSG in last month’s final. The Blues secured intercontinental glory in the USA with five successive victories.
An impressive run of wins has seen the Blue claim victory in all but one of their last 11 matches across all competitions.
Chelsea boss Maresca could make some changes to his selection this week. Brazilian winger Estevao is likely to earn a first start at the London Stadium.

Chelsea's attacking quality should come to the fore against a West Ham side that laboured badly in last week's loss against Sunderland.
An away win is my top tip on Friday night.
