West Ham Vs Chelsea LIVE Score, Premier League: Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto Goals Hand CFC Lead Over Stubborn WHUFC

A third for Chelsea, as it is set-up by 18-year-old Estevao! The Brazilian sets up for the Chelsea skipper, who are now running the show. Graham Potter cuts a sorry figure on the sidelines as this could be a horror show for the home team.

It's all Chelsea now with that goal. Their fans are going 'oles' with every touch from the Chelsea player. Enzo Maresca still barking orders from the sidelines as he knows the 2-1 lead is a dangerous scoreline.

It's all happening at the London Stadium. Pedro Neto crosses into the West Ham box but it finds Diouf who tries to find Pacqueta but the Brazilian has a loose touch and Chelsea capitalise as a cross back into the box sees an unmarked Neto volley the Blues into the lead.

Drama and more drama! Niclas Fullkrug  seems to have brought the Hammers in the lead but VAR finds it offside in the play. Todibo is marginally off and it is rightfully disallowed to the dismay of the home fans.

The Blues are level and it's the new signing Joao Pedro. The Brazilian scores from a corner, which is flicked on by Marc Cucurella and the Blues score their first goal of this season.

Just the tonic West Ham and their fans needed! Chelsea loose the ball early and is intercepted as it finds to Lucas Paqueta, who strides forward before releasing a thunderous, swirling drive into the back of the net.

West Ham 1-0 Chelsea 7'

A positive start from the home side as they are pressing high and that's making the Chelsea defence a bit uncomfortable in these early stages.

West Ham 0-0 Chelsea 6'

And we are away at the London Stadium as Chelsea and West Ham gets things underway.

West Ham 0-0 Chelsea 1'

On Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both starting: "Joao, as we've said many times, can give us different options. Liam we know, is a central striker, he can play together with Joao as two strikers, or one striker with Joao moving a little bit around or wide.

"We said we'd try to adapt as much as we can to the squad we have and hopefully they can both do well."

On changes in defence: "First of all, we have to say Josh [Acheampong] did very well against Palace, but we already gave games to Josh last year, so we trust Josh 100%.

"Tosin gives us many things, in terms of experience, managing moments, and for sure, in this kind of game with a big striker up front, [Tomas] Soucek is there, he will help us with the long ball."

Chelsea drew against Crystal Palace in their opening game of the season, whereas West Ham were beaten 3-0 at Sunderland.

Graham Potter on facing his former side. "It'll take a huge effort, a fantastic team performance, always a little bit of luck, but you are playing against a top team in a really good moment, so we have to perform well as a team with a balance between attack and defence, and we have to give everything."
