Chelsea v West Ham United

Chelsea could hand £70m signing Wesley Fofana his debut but deadline-day capture Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a doubt because of a broken jaw.

Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is nursing a hamstring injury, while Conor Gallagher returns from suspension.

West Ham's record signing Lucas Paqueta could make his full debut after a substitute appearance in midweek.

David Moyes will be without Ben Johnson, who has a hamstring problem. The Hammers manager faces a late decision on Aaron Cresswell, who has a groin issue, and Gianluca Scamacca, who is taking anti-biotics for a virus.

David Moyes has failed to win in 17 Premier League matches against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Only Moyes himself has contested more Premier League away fixtures versus an opponent without a single victory (he is winless in 18 top-flight matches away to Arsenal)
