West Ham #WestHam
West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Chelsea at the London Stadium in the Premier League.
The Hammers will look to pick up back-to-back home wins against their rivals Chelsea, who in their last home meeting against the Blues, sealed a 3-2 win back in December 2021. The Hammers go into the game 17th in the Premier League table and just a point clear of the relegation zone.
As the Irons aim to continue their improved start to 2023, Moyes has made no changes to face Chelsea from the side that drew 1-1 with Newcastle United a week ago.

The rest of the side remains unchanged from a week ago, with five of the 23-man set of senior players still absent, including left-back Aaron Cresswell who is absent. Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola also remains out with a hamstring issue.
Winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) is still out, having been forced off on his full league debut for the club against Wolverhampton Wanderers on October 1. Striker Gianluca Scamacca remains out with a knee injury. Centre-back Kurt Zouma also misses out with a thigh issue.
Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Graham Potter has made three changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Fulham eight days ago.
