Chelsea will hope to get back to winning ways this weekend as they face West Ham United in a London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea go into the game having lost five of their last seven games in the Premier League and it’s set to be an emotional day following the passing of Blues icon Ray Wilkins during the week.
The match is of high importance for Chelsea despite the race for top four being all but over for Antonio Conte’s side, with them eight points behind Tottenham Hotspur with just seven games remaining.
West Ham currently sit five points away from the drop zone and a positive result this weekend will go a long way to securing their Premier League status.
The two teams met earlier in the season with the Hammers claiming a 1-0 victory at the London Stadium as Marko Arnautovic scored the only goal.
