Chelsea tonight welcome former manager Graham Potter back to Stamford Bridge as they host West Ham in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca meets Potter needing to secure some much-needed momentum. Chelsea lost 3-1 away at Manchester City last weekend, meaning they've only managed one win from their last six league games. Potter's West Ham, meanwhile, managed to draw 1-1 against Aston Villa last time out, and the Hammers boss would love nothing more than to return to Stamford Bridge with all three points.
Here's everything you need to know about the match, including the date, kick-off time, and where to watch it.
