Follow all the action as Chelsea welcome West Ham to Stamford Bridge in a mouthwatering London derby in the Premier League this evening. 

The Blues had mounted a promising title charge before back-to-back defeats against Everton and Wolves sucked the momentum from their sails. That recent slump has left Frank Lampard’s side eighth in the table and nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool. However, the Blues had shown plenty of promise prior to that stutter and they will be confident of bouncing back, while Callum Hudson-Odoi’s return from injury offers Lampard another option from the bench.

The Hammers will provide imposing opposition, though, after a magnificent start to their season compared to the agitation that overshadowed the previous campaign. David Moyes’s side have lost just two of their last 10 games – against Liverpool and Manchester United – and have otherwise shown great form against the top sides, having already taken points off Manchester City, Tottenham and Leicester. An upset would see West Ham climb up to sixth and recent results in this fixture will only provide them with more hope, having won the last two meetings between the two sides.
