West Ham vs Chelsea LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Nicolas Jackson scored twice to help Chelsea to a second straight away win with a 3-0 victory at London rivals West Ham United on Saturday that suggested new coach Enzo Maresca is getting his huge squad to gel.
Jackson capitalised on poor defending to find the net in the fourth minute when he sped down the wing, cut inside unchallenged and drilled a shot under Alphonse Areola. Fourteen minutes later the Senegal striker found space between West Ham's defenders to receive a pass from Moises Caicedo and double Chelsea's lead.
West Ham were 3-0 down little more than a minute into the second half when Jackson teed up Cole Palmer on the break and the England striker fired home from the edge of the box.
Chelsea, who won 1-0 at Bournemouth last Saturday, moved into second place in the Premier League table ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures. West Ham, under new coach Julen Lopetegui, are 14th

Lopetegui responds to boos as West Ham manager explains Rodriguez substitution
15:57 , Jonathan Gorrie
Julen Lopetegui says West Ham fans have the right to boo their team and insists he is not concerned by how quickly the tide has turned at the start of his regime.
The Hammers were jeered off after being beaten 3-0 by Chelsea at the London Stadium on Saturday, with Lopetegui yet to take a point from his three home matches in charge.
After a summer of heavy investment following David Moyes’s departure, the season began with a sense of optimism in east London but already the mood has soured.
Chelsea co-owners put on united front as Maresca hails 'fantastic' Jackson
15:48 , Jonathan Gorrie
Chelsea’s co-owners put on a united front to celebrate Saturday’s victory over West Ham, as Enzo Maresca hailed Nicolas Jackson’s “fantastic” display.
Todd Boehly and Behdad Egbhali were pictured alongside each other at the London Stadium and joined Maresca’s players in the dressing room following the 3-0 win.
There have been growing reports of tensions between Egbhali’s Clearlake Capital, which is the majority shareholder, and Boehly, over key decisions on the running of the club.
David Moyes reacts as West Ham lose to Chelsea
15:36 , Jonathan Gorrie
David Moyes admits West Ham will have been disappointed to lose their strong home record against Chelsea.
The former Hammers manager was on punditry duty for beIN Sports for the London derby defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League’s early kick-off on Saturday.
The Hammers lost 3-0 at the London Stadium thanks to a first-half brace from Nicolas Jackson, who turned provider in the second-half for Cole Palmer’s strike just after the interval.
It means new manager Julen Lopetegui has won just once in his opening four games and they face a daunting Carabao Cup third-round tie away at Liverpool on Wednesday.
Jackson answering Chelsea critics as early pressure builds at West Ham
15:00
If the old fable already warns against a bet on the Saturday lunchtime kick-off, then even the smartest of the silly money probably would not have fancied Nicolas Jackson when clean through one-on-one.
Against Crystal Palace just before the international break, the striker missed two glaring chances late on to cost his side two points. Last week at Bournemouth, it took his replacement, Christopher Nkunku, to come off the bench and earn Chelsea three.
Here at the London Stadium, though, Jackson suddenly found clinical form, scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes as Enzo Maresca’s side blew West Ham away. For good measure, he laid on another for Cole Palmer after the break, a 3-0 win echoing Marcela’s record on the road at the start of the new Premier League campaign.

Chelsea cruised to a London derby win over West Ham in the Premier League’s early kick-off.

It’s really not at all clear what West Ham were even trying to do here.

Clinical stuff from Chelsea on the break. Jackson made a tricky pass look simple with his weight and timing. That should be job done.

West Ham’s team talk did not work, it seems.
A brilliant finish from Palmer, who latches onto a ball from Jackson after a Chelsea counter.

Still, the forward had gone a touch too early and it’s flagged as offside.

24 mins: The Hammers need a spark. There’s little doubt they have players who can produce something out of nothing but they just haven’t seen enough of the ball.

Who are you and what have you done with Nicolas Jackson? Two chances, two clinical finishes. It helps, though, when you're essentially playing against 11 cones in claret and blue. Laughable defending.
GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Chelsea | Nicolas Jackson '17
12:50 , Jonathan Gorrie
17 mins: GOAL!
Chelsea knock the ball around for what feels like an age with absolutely no pressure from West Ham.
The move finds its way to Jackson, who races behind and slots past Areola.

12:45 , Jonathan Gorrie
Chelsea are getting all sorts of joy down the left. West Ham have got one of the best one-on-one defenders in the league in Wan-Bissaka supposedly at right-back, but twice he's been caught miles up the pitch, leaving Alvarez to try and cover against Jackson. It's a mismatch.
West Ham 0-1 Chelsea
12:44 , Jonathan Gorrie
13 mins: Palmer drags a shot wide after a nice run from Jackson, who again finds it far too easy to get into the box.

11 mins: West Ham starting to see a fair amount of the ball now but Chelsea are managing their lead pretty well.

12:38 , Jonathan Gorrie
It's a horror start for West Ham, who were dozing as Chelsea took a quick free-kick. How easily did Jackson run away from Alvarez there? A composed finish through the legs of Areola from the man whose finishing has come under a bit of scrutiny in the last few weeks.

Cole Palmer was on the end of a bit of a kicking at Bournemouth last weekend and Enzo Maresca acknowledge that is something he'll have to get used to with more of a target on his back this term. Guido Rodríguez has just left a comically late one on him.

Chelsea told Jadon Sancho is 'signing of the summer' and 'foolish' Manchester United will regret deal
11:07 , Jonathan Gorrie
Chelsea have been told that they secured the "signing of the window" in Jadon Sancho, who could turn into another Cole Palmer.
The Blues wrapped up a loan-to-buy deal for Sancho on deadline day, which will see the player join in a permanent deal worth £25million next summer.
Julen Lopetegui aiming to bring 'good news' to West Ham fans after difficult start
10:57 , Jonathan Gorrie
Julen Lopetegui wants to repay West Ham fans' faith by bringing "good news" to the London Stadium following a poor start to the Premier League season.
The team has won just one of their four league matches since the Spaniard took charge and are yet to pick up a point at home, as the former Real Madrid and Spain coach attempts to instil a more positive, expansive brand of football than the one favoured by predecessor David Moyes.

Chelsea to win, 2-1.
10:02 , Jonathan Gorrie
Chelsea will not have a recognised right-back for their Premier League clash against West Ham today.
Maresca had hoped to have Malo Gusto fit to make the trip, after the Frenchman missed the 1-0 victory over Bournemouth last weekend with a thigh injury, but confirmed in his pre-match press conference that he remains sidelined.
Club captain Reece James is also still out with a hamstring problem and Maresca revealed there is still no timeframe on his return.
“It's a bit delayed but the most important thing for him, for any injury, is that they come back when they are 100% fit,” Maresca said. “"Unfortunately we do not have an idea at the moment. In terms of injuries in the past, we always hope that we can find the right solution.”
Centre-back Axel Disasi started out of position at right-back during the win at Bournemouth, but struggled and was eventually replaced midway through the second-half.
Maresca could instead use Wesley Fofana there, or else redeploy midfielder Moises Caicedo at right-back.
West Ham team news vs Chelsea today
10:00 , Jonathan Gorrie
Both Emerson and Niclas Fullkrug are doubts for West Ham against Chelsea today.
Fullkrug, who joined the club from Borussia Dortmund this summer, missed the 1-1 draw with Fulham last weekend with an Achilles tendon injury sustained midway through the international break with Germany.
It is touch and go as to whether the striker is fit in time to face Chelsea. Emerson, meanwhile, was withdrawn just before the hour mark at Craven Cottage with an injury problem.
“Fortunately, it wasn’t a big knock for Emerson”, Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui said in his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon.
“It’s still Thursday and so 48 hours or so before the match, so there is still time where we need to review things. We will evaluate him again tomorrow [Friday] and see where we are.”
