Chelsea will be aiming to record their first victory of the 2023-24 Premier League campaign when they head to West Ham United on Sunday for a London derby.
The Blues opened their season with a 1-1 draw against Liverpool last weekend, coming from behind to secure a share of the spoils in Mauricio Pochettino's first match at the helm.
Chelsea have no European football this season following their disastrous 2022-23 campaign and can therefore put a lot of their focus on the league.
