Match Preview:

Chelsea’s disappointing loss to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge last week all but sealed their Champions League fate for next season. They are now 8 points adrift of 4^th place but that doesn’t mean that Antonio Conte’s men will give up the chase just yet.

The recent defeat to Tottenham means that Chelsea have dropped points at home in 3 of their last 5 home games. There are still 21 points to be won for the club and the team will want to finish the season on a high note.

West Ham have had many troubles in recent weeks, from poor form to stadium protests but last weekend resolved a few of these issues with a superb and convincing 3-0 win at home to fellow stragglers Southampton. This will have given the Hammers a boost but they will be under no illusions the task they have when they travel to Chelsea.

Away from home West Ham have won just 2 games all season and come into this match having lost their last 3 away games conceding 11 goals along the way.
