Chelsea v West Ham: match preview

Chelsea v West Ham
Chelsea v West Ham: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Chelsea have to respond after their 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. They have lost their past three home games, conceding 11 goals in the process, and are in danger of being dragged into the top-four race. The good news, though, is that West Ham are bound to have an eye on their Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt. West Ham, who have not away in the league since New Year’s Day, cannot afford more injuries after losing Issa Diop, Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna. Jacob Steinberg
