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.

Chelsea vs West Ham United
It is so easy for Chelsea now. Palmer sprays the ball to Madueke who charges at his defender before playing it back to Chelsea’s top goal scorer. He couldn’t add to his 21 goals as he hit a bobbling shot goalwards.

Chelsea are full of confidence and from that passing move they created a shooting chance for Madueke but he had his shot blocked. He then gets the ball again and plays a tantalising ball across the box but no one is there for Chelsea.

Chelsea are just keeping the ball here and getting everyone involved, just waiting for an opening. They aren’t in any rush with such a healthy buffer.

This could be another chance for West Ham. There is a free-kick just on the edge of the box after Caicedo’s foul. Ward-Prowse has obviously picked up the ball, and forced Petrovic into flicking it over the bar.

WHAT A CHANCE FOR EMERSON. Paqueta plays a delicate pass into the Italian and he has time and space but just fires it over Petrovic’s goal. A wasteful effort.

Mudryk has a strong attempt and whips a shot from just outside the box but Areola manages to get across and stop the effort.
