Chelsea have won 30 of the 56 Premier League meetings between the two – they’ve only beaten Tottenham more often in the division (35 times). The home team won both Premier League matches last season: 3-1 for West Ham at the London Stadium and 5-0 for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Jackson caught West Ham cold with the opener inside four minutes, slotting his finish through Alphonse Areola 's legs after being played in by Jadon Sancho, who was making his first Chelsea start after assisting Christopher Nkunku 's winner at AFC Bournemouth last Sunday.
