Having broken the record for Premier League spending this summer, Chelsea will be hoping that they can improve their recent form with a fixture against West Ham on Saturday afternoon.
Thomas Tuchel will have been disappointed as his side were beaten by Southampton 2-1 on Tuesday night, on the same evening as West Ham earned a creditable 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the London Stadium.
That result aside, it has been a difficult start for the Hammers, who alongside Chelsea have become one of the Premier League's top spenders.
