English Premier League giants Chelsea Football Club are set to return to the Premier League against West Ham United at the London Stadium. No need to explain much, we already know this is a derby and the task will not be easy
Graham Potter and his boys. Chelsea suffered a nasty draw against Fulham at Stamford Bridge despite deploying most of their new signings into the game. Enzo Fernandez was able to start full time, while Mudryk and Benoit were also named in the starting line-up.
Meanwhile, West Ham United will be keen to regain their winning streak after drawing 1-1 with Newcastle United last weekend. The Hammers played well and deserved to win the game, but Magpie's defenders played solidly at the back.
However, Graham Potter will also be keen to win, as Chelsea are yet to win a Premier League game since beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Before Saturday's clash, Joao Felix will return to the squad after serving a three-match suspension. The England manager could also choose to start Datro Fofana after impressing from the bench against Fulham.

MAN CITY CONSIDER CHELSEA PLAYER TO SOLVE LB PROBLEM, GUARDIOLA APPRECIATES 26 Y/O
Chelsea player to solve LB problem, Guardiola 'appreciates' 26 y/o
Pep Guardiola can't ignore the left-back problem at Manchester City anymore after Joao Cancelo joined Bayern Munich on loan until the end of the season, so it's good news that Fabrizio Romano told Caught Offside that the Sky Blues are 'considering' a move for a replacement.
Guardiola reportedly 'appreciates' Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell, but it remains to be seen if he'll make a move. City could do with two left-backs as Sergio Gomez has an uncertain future in Manchester after a poor debut season since joining from RSC Anderlecht.
Oleksandr Zinchenko was sold to Arsenal and not adequately replaced while Benjamin Mendy will be released from his contract in the coming months, so City will have lost three left-backs without one coming in. Fulham's Antonee Robinson is also on their radar, but City will have a lot of names on their list. Chilwell joined Chelsea from Leicester in 2020 and has made 69 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists. The 26-year-old has failed to claim a regular place (762/2700 minutes), although he made 14/30 appearances this season overall.
Chilwell has two-and-a-half years left on his Stamford Bridge deal, so Chelsea are under no obligation to cash in early, but he could accept a deal if he's not a regular.
