Chelsea v West Ham: match preview

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

Frank Lampard will be desperate to halt a worrying run against his old club. Consecutive defeats at Wolves and Everton have hurt Chelsea’s title hopes, leaving them outside the top four, and they need to bounce back when West Ham visit Stamford Bridge. Yet it could be an awkward evening. West Ham are a point behind Chelsea, who lost to their London rivals twice last season, and have earned 13 points from their past six games. Jacob Steinberg
