West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Hammers will look to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches against the Blues, having beaten Viborg and Aston Villa and drawn with Tottenham Hotspur in their last three matches.
As the Irons look to build on Wednesday night’s draw with Spurs, Moyes has made two changes to face Chelsea from the side that came from behind to earn a point against Antonio Conte’s side.
