West Ham United have a couple of injury concerns for their Premier League clash against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers face Thomas Tuchel’s side at Stamford Bridge off the back of picking up the first home point of the season. They came from behind on Wednesday night to draw 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur, with Tomas Soucek grabbing the equaliser.
West Ham go into the tie hoping to make in three wins on the spin away from home in all competitions, having been victorious at Viborg and Aston Villa in their last two matches on the road.

On paper, Moyes has a relatively full squad available for the London derby. However, he does have a few injury concerns going into the meeting with the 2021 Champions League winners.
Right-back Ben Johnson limped off in the first half of the win at Villa on Sunday six days ago and will miss out with a hamstring injury that is set to keep him out for a few weeks.
Vice-captain Aaron Cresswell is a doubt for the clash with a groin issue which he played through against Spurs before coming off for the final 20 minutes. He did not train on Friday during the club's open training session at Rush Green.
Striker Gianluca Scamacca missed the Spurs clash with a virus. While he is a doubt, he did train with his teammates on Friday ahead of the trip across London.
Centre-back Craig Dawson is back in training after missing the duration of the season to date due to a quad issue. However, following the injury and a collapsed move to Wolverhampton Wanderers, he is set to miss out while he works his way to full fitness.
The only known absentee for the meeting with Chelsea barring Johnson is centre-back Nayef Aguerd, who is not due back to action until mid-October following ankle surgery he underwent in the summer following his £30million arrival from Stade Rennais.
Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against the Blues.
