West Ham vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League 2018-19 football as it happened

West Ham ended Chelsea's perfect start to the Premier League season as the London clubs played out a 0-0 draw on Sunday.

Chelsea had recorded five wins in their first five games but, after a tiring trip to Greece in midweek to play in the Europa League, Maurizio Sarri's team never really got going against an energetic and organised West Ham team.

And the Hammers looked more likely to find a winner for much of the game at London Stadium, with Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga — the world's most expensive goalkeeper — forced into the best save of the match, and Andriy Yarmolenko missing a simple chance late on for West Ham.

Team news

Pellegrini is hopeful Marko Arnautovic will be fit to face Chelsea.​ Arnautovic was substituted in the second half of West Ham's 3-1 victory at Everton last weekend with a knee problem.

Javier Hernandez (flu) is a doubt, while Jack Wilshere (ankle) is sidelined after surgery. Andy Carroll, Manuel Lanzini and Winston Reid remain long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Adrian, Fredericks, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Diop, Balbuena, Rice, Cresswell, Masuaku, Obiang, Noble, Sanchez, Antonio, Yarmolenko, Snodgrass, Arnautovic, Perez, Anderson.

Pedro is a major doubt after the Spain winger sustained a shoulder injury in Thursday night's Europa League win at PAOK - a trip Eden Hazard and David Luiz missed.

The rested pair are expected to return against the Hammers, while Mateo Kovacic has a minor injury and may miss out again.

Provisional squad: Kepa, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Moses, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Morata, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu, Hudson-Odoi, Bulka.
