According to OddsShark.

Chelsea's preparations for Sunday's match were disrupted by their late return to London after their UEFA Europa League win over Greek side PAOK on Thursday.

The Blues were delayed on their way home, which will not have impressed manager Maurizio Sarri, according to ESPN FC's Liam Twomey:

Two players who will not be affected are Eden Hazard and David Luiz, who did not travel to Greece.

Hazard has enjoyed a superb start to the season, with five goals and two assists in his five outings. The Belgium international was left out of Thursday's squad after complaining of tiredness, per Jon Percy at the Telegraph.

Chelsea will hope Hazard is refreshed for the trip to London Stadium. He scored a hat-trick in his most recent outing, and Sarri has said the winger has the ability to score 40 goals this season, per Goal's Nizaar Kinsella:

The visitors will look to Hazard to provide their inspiration. West Ham have conceded 11 goals in five league games this term, and the Belgian's skill and eye for goal will cause problems.

West Ham are the underdogs, but they have a good recent record against Chelsea. The Hammers have won three of their past four home games against their London rivals.

They do have injury problems ahead of the match. Jack Rosser at the Evening Standard offered an update on Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez:

Midfielder Jack Wilshere will miss out after undergoing surgery on an ankle problem. His absence will give 19-year-old Declan Rice a chance to shine in the first team.

West Ham will hope Arnautovic can shake off his knee injury. He has become a crucial figure since joining from Stoke City in 2017 and was their top scorer last season.

The hosts can also look to summer signing Andriy Yarmolenko to cause Chelsea problems. The winger is available and in good form after scoring his first Premier League goals in the win over Everton.

Chelsea have been flawless in the league, but Sunday provides a tough test. The Blues may be affected by their European exertions, while West Ham will have had a week to prepare and will be confident after a first league win of the season.
