Let's be honest. They could field a second string team and still genuinely give us problems.
They've benefited from three awful, result changing decisions in their last four games against us.Let me guess...... we'll get Clattenburg for this....
The only position that they are clearly miles better than us at the moment is centre forward. Cresswell in, and possibly Collins. Randolph if fit.
Antonio was supposedly carrying a thigh knock when subbed yesterday.
We and Chelsea play exactly the same formation atm. At wingbacks, centre backs, and two wide players there is nothing between teams imo. The main difference is in holding midfield and up front. We have Noble, Obiang and low on confidence Zaza and they have Kante, Matic and Costa.
First game at the OS when we play a London rival, and first game that the pressure will be off the team. Hopefully this will ensure the players are relaxed go for it.
Chelsea will be easier to break down than Sunderland, they will be going for it too.

Hate to say it but they could put half a team out and beat us at the moment, we need to step up for this one and get a bloody goal scorer on the pitch to have a chance, all that said be typical West Ham to win, either ways I'm down from Liverpool for it, COYI's

We've just won 2 games on the bounce keeping clean sheets!
Bit of positivity please. As for potential trouble, if people want it they'll find it just like they did at Upton Park or any other ground.
"When you come to the London Stadium stick your blue flag up your arse!"
Can't bloody wait. This is always the game I want more than any other. Spurs was never such a draw as their firm was always lightweight and don't play Millwall enough. Remember when we're leading at Highbury and all we sang was "blue flag" in anticipation of the next fixture.
Going to be the first full volume game at home.
