Chelsea face Brighton at the Amex Stadium in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
It’s one of the most hotly awaited team selections in years, with so many exciting new faces in the squad.
Timo Werner and Kai Havertz both start for Frank Lampard’s new-look Chelsea; with Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Hakim Ziyech not yet ready.
N’Golo Kante and Mason Mount will be key figures this season and they both rack up their first appearances of the season. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is given a chance to prove is worth in the opening moments of this campaign.
Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Cesar Azpilicueta all seemed likely to start, but various small injuries keep them out of the XI.
In goal, Kepa keeps his place – for how much longer, we’ll have to see.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs West Ham (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT)
