# Predicted West Ham XI: Chelsea (H)

West Ham United host Chelsea at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon in what is expected to be an entertaining London derby.

Both sides are coming into the match with lots of confidence. Chelsea have won their opening five Premier League matches whilst the Hammers secured their first win of the season last weekend against Everton.

Manuel Pellegrini had a few injury concerns following that victory at Goodison Park but he seems to now know what his best starting XI is.

With Chelsea proving to be very dangerous in attack, Pellegrini could set up his side more defensively with a view to hitting the blues on the counter-attack.

We expect Pellegrini to use a 4-1-4-1 formation. Here’s how we think West Ham will lineup against Maurizio Sarri’s side.
