How to watch today's West Ham vs Chelsea Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

West Ham United are set to take on Chelsea in another thrilling Premier League London derby this weekend.

The Hammers, though only a few games into the season, remain unbeaten in clashes against their fellow capital clubs. Julen Lopetegui’s men secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace last month and managed a late 1-1 draw against Fulham in their most recent outing. Despite these encouraging results, it hasn’t been a blistering start for this revamped Irons side.

While the Spanish manager praised his team's resilience at Craven Cottage, he acknowledged there is still room for growth.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have made a relatively solid start under Enzo Maresca. Despite ongoing off-field turmoil, the Blues have not lost since their opening weekend defeat to Manchester City and are coming into this derby on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
