West Ham vs Chelsea - Premier League: Live score and updates as Enzo Maresca hands Liam Delap a start ahead of Friday night London derby

JAMES SHARPE: Graham Potter was on the offensive as soon as he stepped through the door.

'Must have been a bad result at the weekend,' he remarked as he turned to face a rare packed media room at Rush Green.

He could say that again.

A 3-0 defeat to Sunderland to start the season on which Potter was always to be judged, the one after the summer where he hoped to get all the players he needed to overhaul the ageing, underperforming squad he inherited and stamp his style and authority upon it.

Then they went to the Stadium of Light and got trounced by a newly-promoted team with only two new signings in his starting line-up.

West Ham boss Graham Potter, speaking to Sky Sports:

Courtesy of Coca-Cola, we've got some eyebrow-raising predictions from supporters about how the Premier League might play out.

Here's what they discovered...

Have your say in the comments below.

Unsurprisingly, there is no sign of Nicolas Jackson for Chelsea tonight.

He informed the club he wanted to leave this summer and we understand Aston Villa have stepped up their efforts to sign the striker.

Villa are cautious about overstepping profit and sustainability rules and Jackson is likely to set them back around £60million.

Jackson was also missing for the draw with Palace last weekend.

Good timing. This is just in via my colleague SIMON JONES...

West Ham have bid around £17 million including add-ons for Monaco midfielder Soungoutou Magassa.

France U21 international Magassa was the subject of an offer from Nottingham Forest earlier in the window.

The versatile 21-year-old plays predominantly as a holding midfielder but can also operate in a box-to-box role and as a centre back.

Magassa started 16 games for Monaco last season and also featured in the Champions League, gaining valuable experience.

West Ham boss Graham Potter, speaking ahead of the game:

All eyes will be on Liam Delap tonight.

It's worth pointing out here that Chelsea had 19 shots against Crystal Palace last weekend - but failed to score from any of them.

Delap certainly should help on that front.

The players have taken a stroll around the pitch and Cole Palmer was spotted looking typically relaxed ahead of kick-off.

Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp:

The headline here is that Joao Pedro and Liam Delap BOTH start this evening. I'm assuming Pedro will line up out wide, with Delap the No 9.

Enzo Maresca has made three changes in total. Jamie Gittens has dropped to the bench while Tosin Adarabioyo has been recalled.

Josh Acheampong is among the substitutes.

Let's see how that reshuffle up top works out.

It's just the one change for the hosts from the side which fell to that pretty dreadful loss away at Sunderland last time out.

Tomas Soucek is back in midfield, with Luis Guilherme ruled out.

Other than that, I'm assuming it will be a back three - with wing backs - and a two-man frontline of Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug.

At least on paper, that's pretty deadly.

Graham Potter has a bit of a selection headache on his hands.

Crysenscio Summerville and Luis Guilherme remain out while there are question marks over new goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.

West Ham's new No 1 was poor on his debut last weekend.

Chelsea's big absentee is Levi Colwill, who ruptured his ACL in pre-season and is set to miss most of the campaign.

Nicolas Jackson is back in contention after serving a three-match ban.

Welcome, all. I bet Graham Potter is hoping for some magic tonight.

West Ham sorely need points - and, even more crucially, a much better performance after their dismal 3-0 defeat by Sunderland last time out.

To be honest, it's all feeling a bit end-of-days at London Stadium already and Potter desperately needs to lift the gloom.

As for Chelsea, they were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace in their opening fixture despite fielding their plethora of attacking riches.

I'm expecting goals in this one, so don't go anywhere. Kick-off is 8pm.
