Quotes
"We cannot afford to lose one moment in our game, that we don't look to score, or we don't look to win our duels. The boys are there," West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo said after his side's win over Sunderland.
"You know that football is [in] the present. What we did today was great. Let's have a good weekend and prepare for the next one. It's going to be very tough [at Chelsea], but we're going to put up a fight."
Head-to-Head
Chelsea hammered West Ham 5-1 in their last meeting in the league, which was played at London Stadium in August 2025.
