The London Stadium will be the stage for a crucial Premier League encounter on Saturday, September 21st, as West Ham hosts Chelsea. This match promises to be a thrilling clash between two teams aiming to secure a place among the league’s elite.
Chelsea, under the guidance of new head coach Enzo Maresca, is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2022-23 season. Maresca, who led Leicester City to the Championship title in his first season in charge, is determined to restore Chelsea to the Premier League’s top four. The Blues currently sit eighth in the table with seven points from four matches, their only loss coming against reigning champions Manchester City.
West Ham, on the other hand, will be eager to capitalise on home advantage and upset the Chelsea challenge. The Hammers are currently 14th in the table, but will be looking to climb the standings with a positive result.
Chelsea will be without captain Reece James, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Fellow right-back Malo Gusto is also out of the match, leaving a void in Chelsea’s defence.
The match kicks off at 5 PM IST (12:00 PM GMT) on September 21st, and fans can catch all the action live on the Star Sports network in India. The match will also be live streamed on the Disney+Hotstar app and website.
