    Chelsea's season was blighted by a colossal amount of injuries to first eleven players last year. Already this season we've lost James (again), our new striker Nkunku and now Chukwuemeka.

    Raheem Sterling is felled on the edge of the box by James Ward-Prowse. This free-kick is a bit too wide to shoot.

    Two assists already for James Ward-Prowse. He’s really hit the ground running for West Ham.

    We haven't had as many 'who should replace David Moyes' texts in the last five minutes.

    West Ham are truly our bogie team. Every year it’s the same nonsense. They have no right to be ahead and yet we’re behind. Mad.

    That's two assists for James Ward-Prowse. He is the first player to assist two goals on his Premier League debut for West Ham.

    Chelsea sub Mykhailo Mudryk overhits a through ball to Nicolas Jackson and Alphonse Areola is quick off his line to slide into the ball and scoop it up.

    A goal from nothing!

    West Ham are looking threatening.

    This is absolutely devastating, he has the power and strength Michail Antonio leaving Levi Colwill for dead.

    That goal tells you everything about Antonio. He's got such as good strike on him.

    Great power, strength, physical ability. That is a fantastic finish.

    David Moyes has had words at the break. Chelsea were finding gaps too easily first half.

    As soon as West Ham, lose the ball now, they are very hard to break down.

    Where has this come from?!

    James Ward-Prowse finds Michail Antonio with a nice ball over the top. You wonder if Axel Disasi has forced Antonio too wide but the West Ham striker suddenly lashes in a shot from 20 yards through Disasi's legs and into the far bottom corner.

    Moises Caicedo is doing more stretches on the side of the pitch.

    Better spell from West Ham this and James Ward-Prowse has a go from 20 yards but it hits a blue shirt.

    West Ham should be ahead. Actually no the offside flag is up.

    Said Benrahma races onto a Lucas Paqueta ball. He should shoot on his right foot but takes it wide before going with his left and scoops it across goal.

    And then we discover he was offside all along.

    Graham Potter would be an ideal replacement for Moyes.

    Plenty of link-up between Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling so far. One-twos and the like.

    Mudryk coming on is an attacking change.

    You might have expected Moises Caicedo to come on, but it looks like Mudryk, Sterling and Jackson up front.

    Michail Antonio thinks he's won a free-kick off Axel Disasi but it goes the other way. Antonio is not happy.
