Chelsea vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more
Chelsea host West Ham in the Premier League as Mauricio Pochettino’s side look to keep their hopes of Europe this season alive.
The Blues were impressive as they beat Tottenham 2-0 on Thursday night but Pochettino’s side have been inconsistent this season and the manager warned his team that they must replicate their midweek performance against David Moyes’s side.
West Ham are also still within a shot of qualifying for Europe for a fourth season in a row, but they will likely have to win at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, who have won six of their last seven at Stamford Bridge, would go above Manchester United with three points today.

For West Ham, the mood isn’t as good as the table would suggest. They are one place below their London rivals, and if they win today they will go above the Blues, so not completely doom and gloom for the Irons, but it does seem like we are heading into the final three games of the David Moyes’ era at West Ham. Well, his second era, and this one has been far more successful, although in either of those spells and when in charge of Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland he has never won a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. Now would be a good time to change that.

What a return to winning ways for Mauricio Pochettino and his Chelsea team on Thursday. He said it was his “happiest win” after beating his former side, and you can see why it was a strong showing that had seen them move within three points of sixth place, but after Newcastle’s dismantling of Burnley yesterday the gap has now increased to five. A win is vital if they want to finish in Europe and if you said that a couple months ago then most people wouldn’t have believed you, but Chelsea have started to turn it around, especially at home.
