Graham Potter is immediately under pressure to get a reaction from his West Ham side while preparing for their first home game of the season against Chelsea on Friday.
The hammers want to jump back from a gloomy defeat from 3-0 opening day to Sunderland, and the manager can make changes to his start 11 for this crucial London Derby.

After a poor defensive version in Sunderland, Graham Potter can choose to make changes to his Startbackline. Konstantinos Mavropanos is a candidate to get into central defense and add more steel.

More important changes are expected later in the field. Tomáš Souček and Callum Wilson, who both came from the couch in the stadium of Light, push hard for starts. Souček would bring his experience and physicality to midfield, while Wilson would offer a proven goal threat to lead the border.
Despite the bad result, it is expected that new signing sessions Mads Hermansen and El Hadji Diouf will keep their places while Kyle Walker-Peters is waiting for his competitive debut in Claret and Blue.
