Only Liverpool have matched Chelsea's five-game winning streak so far this season, with the last time two clubs doing so in the English top-flight happening over 110 years ago. The Blues will be motivated following their 1-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League earlier in the week, though Manuel Pellegrini's side will be similarly buoyed after registering an emphatic 3-1 win over Everton last weekend.

Match Preview Pellegrini has had a turbulent start to the season as West Ham manager with four straight defeats leaving them towards the bottom of the table, but a 3-1 win over Everton has lifted spirits and given fans hope ahead of a huge clash with their London rivals. The Hammers took four points off of the Blues in 2017-18, winning 1-0 at London Stadium and holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, and they will be hoping for similar results this term. Article continues below Sarri, meanwhile, will be eager to maintain his perfect start to the season with a potential six wins in a row – seven including the Europa League – after resting key man Hazard on Thursday. Alvaro Morata may sit the fixture out after failing to score against PAOK despite having seven shots, with none of those efforts on target. The Blues have a crucial few weeks ahead, having to play Liverpool twice in both the league and Carabao Cup, and will likely re-jig their squad.<doc-sep>*Privacy Policy West Ham United will take on unbeaten Chelsea at the London Stadium as they help get Sunday's Premier League action underway. Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping last week's 3-1 win against Everton at Goodison Park is enough to boost the morale of the Hammers, after losing their first four Premier League clashes, when they face Maurizio Sarri's side. The Blues will have a hard test after having two days to recover from their Europa League opening game over in Greece.

Chelsea have the chance to make it seven wins in a row in all competitions and six victories to start the Premier League campaign as they travel to London rivals West Ham this afternoon. The Hammers have a knack of really raising their game when the Blues head to the London Stadium and after their first win of the season last week they are likely to be buoyed and their confidence a lot higher as they take on Maurizio Sarri’s men. However, Chelsea can’t be short of that themselves as they have really started the campaign with a bang and continued their form with a 1-0 win at PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night. However, they have had a few injuries concerns over the week with Mateo Kovacic suffering an injury in the win over Cardiff City last weekend, and Pedro suffering a nasty collision with the PAOK goalkeeper in Greece a couple of days ago. Sarri selected a somewhat surprisingly strong side for that match at the Toumba Stadium, and with their plane journey home being delayed until Friday, preparations for this game might not have been at their best. However, Eden Hazard and David Luiz were left in England and rested and they will be fresh for the match against Manuel Pellegrini‘s side. Here is how the Blues line up this afternoon for the 1.30pm kick off. Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rudiger, Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Hazard, Willian, Giroud. Subs: Caballero, Cahill, Zappacosta, Barkley, Fabregas, Moses, Morata.
