Chelsea vs West Ham United: Match Preview:

Thomas Tuchel's side will be hoping this one is a more enjoyable experience though, after they were beaten 4-2 by Arsenal in midweek as the Blues produced an incredibly poor performance.

While a top-four spot looks all-but secured, Chelsea will not want to let their league season peter out ahead of an FA Cup final next month.

For West Ham, they must also try and keep their focus on Premier League affairs. David Moyes and his team host Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, in the first-leg of the Europa League semi-final clash.

Chelsea:

Chelsea will again be missing Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi this weekend, while Antonio Rudiger is also unavailable due to a groin problem.

Thiago Silva and Trevor Chalobah could both come into the back four, while there are also expected to be returns for Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech and Jorginho, with Romelu Lukaku set to drop out, having again found it difficult to make his mark against Arsenal on Wednesday.

As for West Ham, Issa Diop and Kurt Zouma have recently joined fellow centre-back Angelo Ogbonna on the sidelines, handing Moyes a huge problem when it comes to picking a back two this weekend.

Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma are likely to operate in the wide areas, with Michail Antonio through the middle, so Nikola Vlasic is expected to drop down to the bench at Stamford Bridge.
