West Ham welcome Chelsea in the early Premier League kick-off on Saturday afternoon and we have compared the squad values of both sides.

Chelsea will be looking to win their first London derby of the season at the London Stadium, as Enzo Maresca attempts to build on what has been a good start at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have picked up seven points from their opening five games (2W, 1D & 1L) with their only defeat coming against Manchester City.

Christopher Nkunku’s late strike against Bournemouth was enough to secure all three points for Chelsea in their most recent league fixture.

In contrast, West Ham have only managed to win one of their opening four matches this season, losing to Manchester City and Aston Villa.

The Hammers were held by Fulham in their last league match and Julen Lopetegui will be hoping for a strong performance at home to Chelsea – similar to their display in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in GW2.

However, this could prove to be a difficult task when looking at both squads, as Chelsea’s list of players is worth almost double the amount of West Ham’s.
