Lucas Paqueta has been named in the starting lineup as West Ham host Chelsea at the London Stadium.
Hammers boss David Moyes named Paqueta in his midfield alongside a debuting James Ward-Prowse, as the club looked to build on their draw with Bournemouth in the Premier League opener last week.
Meanwhile David Moyes' other senior signing of the summer, former Ajax star Edson Alvarez was named on the bench.
Paqueta has been persistently linked with a move to Man City, with the Brazil international keen on joining the treble holders.
