Chelsea will be hoping to continue their perfect start to the season when they take on West Ham United Sunday.
The Blues have won all five of their opening Premier League games under Maurizio Sarri so far, also winning in the Europa League on Thursday.
By contrast, West Ham have managed just one win in the Premier League so far, which came last time out against Everton to end four consecutive defeats.
Ahead of the London derby at the London Stadium, take a look at our West Ham vs Chelsea predictions, including our top three tips.

West Ham vs Chelsea Tip 1: Eden Hazard to score first @ 4/1
Eden Hazard is arguably in the best form of his Chelsea career, currently leading the way as the Premier League’s top scorer with five goals – alongside Aleksandar Mitrović.
Playing under Maurizio Sarri in a more attacking system has given the Belgian new-found freedom to wreak havoc on opposition defences and West Ham are likely to be the next victim.
Hazard has scored four goals against the Hammers in 11 appearances and will be fresh having been rested for Chelsea’s Europa League game against PAOK on Thursday.

West Ham vs Chelsea Tip 2: Over three West Ham cards @ 14/5
Tying into their struggles at the start of the season, West Ham have a bad disciplinary record being shown 18 yellow cards in their five matches – more than any other team in the Premier League.
The cards have come from conceding 58 fouls, averaging 11.6 per game and 3.22 per card received.
On Sunday the Hammers will have to go up against Hazard, a player fouled 15 times so far this season, the second highest in the Premier League behind James Maddison (18), though the Belgian has been fouled 4.4 times per 90 minutes.

West Ham vs Chelsea Tip 3: West Ham to win or draw @ 13/10
Form usually goes out of the window when these two sides come together, with Chelsea winning only two of the past seven fixtures across all competitions.
And some Chelsea fans will be wary of the Hammers ending their perfect start to the Premier League, just a week after West Ham recorded their first win of the campaign.
To add to the worries, Chelsea played in Greece on Thursday to kickstart their Europa League campaign and saw their flight delayed on Friday, losing precious recovery time.
