Adrian keeps his spot in the West Ham United XI for Saturday's Premier League clash with Chelsea, while Winston Reid and Mark Noble return for the Hammers.

Adrian has retained his spot in the West Ham United XI for Saturday's Premier League clash with Chelsea, while Winston Reid and Mark Noble return for the Hammers.

Adrian's impressive performance in West Ham's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City last weekend sees the Spaniard keep his position in the team ahead of the returning Joe Hart.

Reid is back for the Hammers and replaces Declan Rice, while club captain Noble earns a recall due to the absence of Cheikhou Kouyate, who limped out of the clash against City at the Etihad Stadium.

Marko Arnautovic is also given a starting role, with fit-again Javier Hernandez and Andy Carroll both on the bench.

As for Chelsea, Tiemoue Bakayoko is back in the middle of the park alongside N'Golo Kante and Cesc Fabregas, while Eden Hazard will again support Alvaro Morata in the final third of the field.

Gary Cahill is chosen ahead of Antonio Rudiger at the back, and there is once again no place in the squad for David Luiz.

West Ham United: Adrian; Zabaleta, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Noble, Obiang; Arnautovic, Lanzini, Masuaku; Antonio
Subs: Hart, Rice, Fernandes, Ayew, Carroll, Sakho, Hernandez

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill; Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Hazard, Morata
Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Ampadu, Moses, Willian, Pedro, Batshuayi
