West Ham 1-1 Chelsea FC LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

West Ham vs Chelsea - LIVE!

West Ham host Chelsea at the London Stadium this afternoon with both sides struggling for form and in desperate need of a statement win to kick their seasons into gear. The Blues edged a tight encounter between the teams at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, though West Ham were on the end of what David Moyes described as a “scandalous” VAR decision.

The Hammers have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, earning a point against Newcastle last weekend to go with the recent win over Everton. However, they still sit 17th in the Premier League and just a point off the relegation zone.

Graham Potter’s side continue to struggle for goals, with just 22 scored in 21 League matches this season. They are 10 points off the top four, with the Chelsea boss needing to quickly find a way to integrate so many new signings. Follow West Ham vs Chelsea with our LIVE blog below, featuring expert analysis from Nizaar Kinsella and Malik Ouzia at the ground.

Full-time: West Ham 1-1 Chelsea

14:30 , Giuseppe Muro

The points are shared.

14:26 , Giuseppe Muro

90 mins: Into five added minutes.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

14:25 , Giuseppe Muro

That's quite a scandalous decision not to give a penalty for Chelsea. Tomas Soucek handballing in his own box.

14:25 , Giuseppe Muro

88 mins: Huge penalty shout! Surely that’s a penalty? Gallagher has a shot from the edge of the box and Soucek makes a bock with his hand. How has that not been given?

14:19 , Giuseppe Muro

83 mins: West Ham have the ball in the net… but after a long VAR review it’s ruled out for offside. A header from Rice was palmed away by Kepa and Soucek was on had to tap home. But the lines were drawn and Rice was offside.

14:14 , Giuseppe Muro

79 mins: Another injury blow for West Ham as Aguerd is forced off. It looked like he was holding his hamstring as he came off.

14:13 , Giuseppe Muro

78 mins: Mount bursts into the box and send a low cross that Fabianski kicks clear. It drops to Fernandez about 20 yards out but he sends a half volley wide.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

14:10 , Giuseppe Muro

It feels like there may well be a winner in this for West Ham but it's set up for Chelsea on the break, even if they've lost the pace of Mudryk. Nicely poised.

14:10 , Giuseppe Muro

76 mins: That header from Havertz was Chelsea's first shot of the second half.

14:09 , Giuseppe Muro

75 mins: Half-chance for Havertz, who heads wide from a cross from Chilwell.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

14:08 , Giuseppe Muro

Chelsea are playing the same system with Mason Mount on the left wing and Joao Felix No10 .Hakim Ziyech in his favoured wide right position.

14:07 , Giuseppe Muro

72 mins: A spell of West Ham pressure ends with Bowen going down in the box. James just got to the loose ball first. No penalty.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

14:03 , Giuseppe Muro

Graham Potter with some sensible substitutions midway through the second half. Noni Madueke has been quiet on his first start, Mykhailo Mudryk drifting in and out of the game and Marc Cucurella was poor. On come three potential match winners in Ben Chilwell, Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech.

14:02 , Giuseppe Muro

67 mins: Changes for both teams as we enter the final 25 minutes.

It’s a triple switch for Chelsea: Mount, Chilwell and Ziyech are on for Mudryk, Cucurella and Madueke.

For West Ham, Ings and Downes are on for Benrahma and Antonio.

14:01 , Giuseppe Muro

65 mins: Benrahma’s shot deflects behind off the wall for a corner, which is cleared.

14:00 , Giuseppe Muro

64 mins: A great turn from Antonio and Badiashile can only bring him down. Yellow card and a free-kick to West Ham in a central position, about 30 yards out. Benrahma over it.

13:58 , Giuseppe Muro

59 mins: West Ham are getting Ings and Downes ready to come on.

13:58 , Giuseppe Muro

58 mins: This half has been more even so far. Chelsea are still enjoying a lot of the ball but West Ham look more organised.

13:52 , Giuseppe Muro

56 mins: Close for Chelsea! The Blues win a free-kick in a crossing position on the left, James curls a brilliant ball into a dangerous area and the ball glances off the head of Antonio and drops inches wide with Fabianski beaten.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

13:48 , Giuseppe Muro

The atmosphere was getting a little sleepy in here by the end of the first-half but it’s not taken long for the home side to get behind their side at the start of the second. Chelsea’s dominance of the first 25 minutes feels a while ago now.

13:48 , Giuseppe Muro

52 mins: Another good opportunity for West Ham on the break but Bowen picks the wrong pass and it breaks down again.

13:47 , Giuseppe Muro

49 mins: Benrahma is free in the middle as West Ham break but Coufal doesn't see him and it breaks down to the frustration of the home crowd.

13:45 , Giuseppe Muro

48 mins: Chelsea enjoying more of the ball again at the start of the second half, but without much cutting edge.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

13:42 , Giuseppe Muro

No changes for either team at the break. Enzo Fernandez is basically the sole pivot in midfield allowing Ruben Loftus-Cheek to roam further forward.

His ability with the ball and to find space in midfield make him the first outlet for any defender in possession.

13:39 , Giuseppe Muro

46 mins: We’re back underway! We’re all set up for a cracking second half. Can either side find a winner?

13:36 , Giuseppe Muro

Joao Felix has been brilliant so far. He has been at the heart of everything good about Chelsea’s play.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

13:25 , Giuseppe Muro

Looked ominous for West Ham for a while and Chelsea could easily have been three-up. Turned into an entertaining half, though.

Half-time: West Ham 1-1 Chelsea

13:21 , Giuseppe Muro

All-square at the break at the London Stadium.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

13:18 , Giuseppe Muro

After one of the best 20 minutes in Graham Potter's time as manager, Chelsea have allowed West Ham back into the game. They are performing badly at the back with the Hammers interrupting the Blues's build up play.

13:17 , Giuseppe Muro

43 mins: This has probably been Chelsea’s best half in a while. Graham Potter will be pleased with the way his team have played but disappointed with the way they have let West Ham back into it. From West Ham’s point of view, they will just be pleased to go in level.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

13:15 , Giuseppe Muro

In fairness, I think most clubs in this league would take playing with 10 men without the ball if it meant getting Mudryk on it. Some player to watch in full-flight.

13:12 , Giuseppe Muro

40 mins: Felix goes goalkeeper’s side and Fabianski tips the ball behind for a corner, which is headed over by Badiashile. That was a free header and he should have done better.

13:11 , Giuseppe Muro

39 mins: Felix has been brilliant so far. He shows great feet to get away from Soucek and win a free-kick in a great position on the edge of the West Ham area. And he’s standing over it…

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

13:10 , Giuseppe Muro

Mykhailo Mudryk is showing both what he is good at and not in this match. He just produced a good transition after Jarrod Bowen's strange error and springs into life when the ball is near him around the box. However, he goes large parts of games without being involved.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

13:09 , Giuseppe Muro

I suspect Jarrod Bowen won’t be the last Premier League winger getting an absolute coating off his full-back for allowing Mudryk a free run at him there.

13:09 , Giuseppe Muro

34 mins: Chelsea flood forward at speed and Mudryk shows his pace to turn defence into attack. Chelsea have a four on three but the final ball into the middle for Madueke is just too long.

13:06 , Giuseppe Muro

32 mins: This is a really good game now. Madueke cuts inside from the right and forces Fabianski into a smart low save. Then down the other end Benrahma bursts into the box and wins a corner, which is cleared.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

13:05 , Giuseppe Muro

They’re almightily lucky to still be in this game, the home side, but that’s a well-worked goal and a triumph for David Moyes’ system. One wing-back’s cross eventually finding the other and Chelsea’s back four too narrow to deal with it.

For Chelsea, that’s a bit of a nightmare goal to concede because they were absolutely cruising in this game and the only question was when they’d double the lead. The home crowd are up now though and there’s a belief in West Ham’s pressing work.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

13:05 , Giuseppe Muro

How ironic... an error from Marc Cucurella allows a left-back who supposedly wasn’t good enough for Chelsea to equalise. Emerson Palmieri with the goal.

GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Chelsea | Emerson 27’

12:59 , Giuseppe Muro

Again his old club, Emerson has equalised for West Ham!

The Hammers have finally woken up. A great cross from Coufal is flicked on by Bowen and Emerson Palmieri, the former Chelsea man, pokes home in at the back post.

Chelsea looked to be in control but we’re all-square.

12:59 , Giuseppe Muro

27 mins: West Ham win a corner on the right, Kehrer rises highest but can’t direct his header at goal and it goes behind.

12:58 , Giuseppe Muro

25 mins: West Ham finally create something going forward. Bowen attacks down the right and sends in a low cross that Antonio flicks towards goal, but Kepa blocks it away. Better from West Ham though.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

12:56 , Giuseppe Muro

There are seven pigeons in the Chelsea penalty area. West Ham don’t look like disturbing them.

12:55 , Giuseppe Muro

22 mins: Chelsea have the ball in the net again… but the flag goes up again.

Havertz rounds Fabianski to slot home but he just went a bit early with his run.

Chelsea are completely bossing this game. They are in complete control and Graham Potter will be delighted with the way his team have started.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

12:53 , Giuseppe Muro

The new-look Chelsea may have just clicked into gear. Mykhailo Mudryk sliding in to win the ball from Jarrod Bowen in his own half, Enzo Fernandez picks it up and crosses in to Joao Felix who taps it home.

Todd Boehly is in the stadium and will love what he has seen.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

12:52 , Giuseppe Muro

Fair to say this has not been the ideal start for West Ham. They’ve hardly put two passes together, have lost their £50million playmaker, and now trail.

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Chelsea | Joao Felix 17’

12:49 , Giuseppe Muro

Felix has looked the most dangerous player on the pitch and he puts Chelsea in front… and this time he's onside.

Fernandez plays it in brilliant ball towards the back post and Felix times his run to volley past Fabianski.

VAR has a quick check for a challenge on Bowen in the build up but the goal stands.

12:47 , Giuseppe Muro

13 mins: Chelsea have enjoyed 82 per cent of the ball here. West Ham seem happy to sit back, soak it up and look to counter.

12:45 , Giuseppe Muro

10 mins: Paqueta collapses to the turn in a heap and it doesn’t look like he is going to be able to continue. That’s a huge blow for West Ham. Soucek comes on to replace him.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

12:42 , Giuseppe Muro

That's a real let-off for Nayef Aguerd, who has been excellent since the World Cup but was dozing. You always suspected Felix was offside but it was tighter than it looked in real-time.

12:42 , Giuseppe Muro

9 mins: Felix has the ball in the net… but the flag goes up. He did look offside there. He wanted the ball played through a fraction of a second earlier. A sign of the threat Felix poses though.

12:40 , Giuseppe Muro

8 mins: Chelsea have started in 4-2-3-1. Felix is playing behind Havertz. Mudryk left, Madueke right.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

12:39 , Giuseppe Muro

Concern here for Paqueta. The fall looked fairly innocuous but the physio is examining his collar-bone, which the midfielder injured earlier this season in the run up to the World Cup.

12:38 , Giuseppe Muro

6 mins: Paqueta is down holding his shoulder.

12:38 , Giuseppe Muro

5 mins: Loftus-Cheek runs into the box but his cross is straight into the arms of Fabianski. That was a dangerous position.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

12:37 , Giuseppe Muro

Mykhailo Mudryk has had a few tidy touches early on and looks a lot sharper than he did against Fulham last time out. I suppose that means that he is over his cold!

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

12:36 , Giuseppe Muro

You wouldn’t put distribution too high up the list of Lukasz Fabianski’s qualities but he spotted an opening on the break there. We’re four minutes in but it already looks like that’s going to be the pattern of the game.

12:36 , Giuseppe Muro

3 mins: From that save, Fabianski hits a long ball forward to Antonio to set West Ham on the attack. Chelsea recover to clear but that was quick thinking from the West Ham goalkeeper.

12:34 , Giuseppe Muro

2 mins: An early free-kick in a dangerous position for Chelsea after Mudryk is fouled. The £88.5m signing put the burners on then and showed what a threat he will be. James shoots from the free-kick and Fabianski saves comfortably.

Kick-off!

12:31 , Giuseppe Muro

The players take a knee. And we’re underway at the London Stadium!

12:30 , Giuseppe Muro

Here come the teams... and the bubbles

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

12:27 , Giuseppe Muro

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is in attendance at the London Stadium ahead of yet another derby match for the Blues.

Potter: Loftus-Cheek gives us balance

12:21 , Giuseppe Muro

Graham Potter has been speaking before the match and has explained his decision to start Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Speaking to BT Sport, Potter said: “He provides a little bit of balance for the attacking players.

“Against West Ham you have to be strong in the box on set-pieces, so he helps us in that area as well.

“He has been building his fitness up and I looking forward to seeing him play.”

Potter added: “We have had a positive week. You benefit from time together but there are some young players there who need to connect on a Premier League stage, so that is the test for us against a well-organised West Ham side.”

12:08 , Giuseppe Muro

Premier League players and match officials will wear black armbands this weekend following the earthquakes that have devastated parts of Turkey and Syria.

Players will take the knee before the next two weekends’ games to display unity against racism.

Why ‘mentality monster’ Madueke is destined for Chelsea stardom

12:01 , Giuseppe Muro

Lightning-fast Noni Madueke is in a hurry to make an impact at Chelsea after returning to London from the Netherlands.

The 20-year-old former Crystal Palace and Tottenham academy star is back in town, after the Blues paid £29million to sign him from PSV Eindhoven

Read why the ‘mentality monster’ is destined for Chelsea stardom here.

11:53 , Giuseppe Muro

There is no place in the Chelsea squad for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he weighs up an offer from LAFC.

It has been reported that Aubameyang is ready to snub the MLS side and fight for his Chelsea place until the end of the season.

Chelsea have held talks with LAFC but the striker does not consider it the right time of his career to go to America.

Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are all considering summer moves to try to sign Aubameyang, who was left out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

11:43 , Giuseppe Muro

Ruben Loftus-Cheek's selection is a bit of a surprise given that he wasn't in the match day squad last time out.

It is likely a response to the size and set-piece threat of West Ham, which is always in the back of the minds of Chelsea managers.

11:40 , Giuseppe Muro

So Joao Felix comes straight back into the Chelsea team following his suspension.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a surprise inclusion in the starting XI, making his first appearance since November.

He partners Enzo Fernandez in midfield this afternoon. Mason Mount has been dropped, while Noni Madueke comes into the side and makes his first start.

Malik Ouzia at the London Stadium

11:37 , Giuseppe Muro

There might be a little bit of disappointment from West Ham fans looking at that teamsheet and seeing Gianluca Scamacca not yet fit enough to be involved but there is a positive in the fact that David Moyes is able to name an unchanged team.

Consistency of selection has been hard to come by this term, whether for injury issues or just a desperate search for a winning combination.

Nizaar Kinsella at the London Stadium

11:32 , Giuseppe Muro

Joao Felix was always likely to return after Graham Potter described him as “the best player on the pitch” before his red card against Fulham.

He has been without football for a month after his three-match ban but he has been impressing and training well.

Potter will hope that the forward also lifts Kai Havertz's performances, which have dropped since his suspension.

Confirmed team news

11:32 , Giuseppe Muro

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Coufal, Rice, Paqueta, Emerson, Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma

Stats

11:06 , Giuseppe Muro

- West Ham beat Chelsea 3-2 at the London Stadium last season and can earn successive Premier League home wins against the Blues for the first time in 20 years.

- Chelsea have gone seven successive away games without a win in all competitions for the first time in 12 years.

- David Moyes is one short of 250 Premier League wins as a manager. It’s a landmark only Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have reached.

- Jarrod Bowen’s last eight top-flight goals have all come at London Stadium.

- Chelsea have used the most players in the Premier League this season, equalling the club record of 32 set in 1992-93.

Conor Gallagher fighting for Chelsea future

10:58 , Giuseppe Muro

Conor Gallagher has just three months to convince Chelsea he has a future with them.

The midfielder is one of a number of homegrown stars who fear the club will cash in on them if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Selling academy graduates would help Chelsea stay in line with Financial Fair Play regulations — and the Blues view Gallagher, who is likely to command a fee of more than £40million, as one of their most saleable assets.

But, with his future in doubt, the 23-year-old wants to stay and has an opportunity to prove himself, as he hopes to start his fourth Premier League game in a row at West Ham on Saturday.

Mateo Kovacic has been out with a calf injury, so Gallagher could start alongside £106.8million signing Enzo Fernandez.

10:53 , Giuseppe Muro

Graham Potter insists Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s situation at Chelsea is “not terminal” despite leaving him out of his Champions League squad.

Aubameyang has been subject to interest from MLS champions Los Angeles FC over a possible loan move to replace the now retired Gareth Bale.

It remains to be seen whether the 33-year-old will be in the squad today but Potter said: “In my job every player while they are here is important.

“Every player should understand their situation and be treated with respect and then it’s their decision how to act and he has acted fantastically.

“Sometimes situations are difficult, which this one is. We have got Joao [Felix], we have Kai [Havertz], we have got David [Datro Fofana], who we thought we wanted to get more of a look at in the short-term.

“But that’s not to say it’s a terminal situation for Pierre. We had to be honest with him and give him time. And that was the reason why he was out of the previous match.

“But while he is here it’s not to say that will always be the case.”

10:50 , Giuseppe Muro

West Ham manager David Moyes reaches the landmark of 643 games in Premier League management today.

Only Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson have managed more games in the Premier League and Moyes said: “I think it shows dedication, and a bit of resilience as well, to do that in the Premier League, and to do that, when we’ve seen so many good managers come and go in the Premier League over decades. I’m pleased to have done it.

“But it wasn’t something that was in my head where I thought: ‘Oh, this is coming up’. It wasn’t that. But certainly, the two people you mentioned in front of me [Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson] have got incredible CVS, and I’m pleased to be on the list just behind them.”

Thiago Silva agrees Chelsea contract extension

10:42 , Giuseppe Muro

If you missed it last night, Thiago Silva has signed a new contract with Chelsea to keep him at Stamford Bridge beyond his 39th birthday.

The evergreen defender has put pen to paper on a fresh one-year deal until the summer of 2024.

“I am honestly so happy to continue my career with the Blues,” Silva told the official Chelsea website.

“When I signed my first contract here, it was to just do one year. Now it is already the fourth! I could not have imagined that, but really it is a very special moment for me to sign and stay at Chelsea.”

Silva has made 106 appearances in total for Chelsea across all competitions so far, winning the Champions League, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup during his time at the Bridge.

Standard Sport prediction

10:31 , Matt Verri

It is difficult to know how Chelsea will line up with so many options available. With the Blues struggling for coherency, West Ham should have enough to take something.

A 1-1 draw.

Chelsea team news

10:22 , Matt Verri

Chelsea have Joao Felix back from suspension from their trip to West Ham.

The January loan signing has completed a three-game ban following his red card on his debut against Fulham and could start the lunchtime kick-off at the London Stadium.

But Chelsea could be without Raheem Sterling, who has been struggling with a knee issue.

Mateo Kovacic, Wesley Fofana and Denis Zakaria have returned to training but will not feature.

Predicted Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa; James, Silva, Badiashile, Cucurella; Gallagher, Enzo; Mount, Felix, Mudryk; Havertz.

West Ham team news

10:15 , Matt Verri

West Ham defender Thilo Kehrer is a major doubt to face Chelsea because of a hamstring injury.

The Hammers are also likely to still be without Kurt Zouma, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet and Alphonse Areola, who missed last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Newcastle.

January signing Danny Ings is again likely to be a substitute as he is eased back from a knee injury.

“Probably much the way we were at the weekend,” said West Ham manager David Moyes said of the squad available to him.

“Thilo is a problem, Thilo came off with an injury. I don’t think we’ve got any of the boys back from last week.”

Predicted West Ham XI (3-4-2-1): Fabianski; Johnson, Ogbonna, Aguerd; Coufal, Rice, Paqueta, Emerson; Bowen, Benrahma; Antonio.
