Chelsea vs West Ham United: Premier League match stream and latest team updates.

West Ham United’s visit to Stamford Bridge this afternoon, Chelsea vs West Ham kick-off at 2pm.

In the last London derby of the 2023–24 Premier League season, Chelsea hosts West Ham United tomorrow afternoon at Stamford Bridge. East meets West. With West Ham sitting two points and a place below Mauricio Pochettino’s team and the Blues sitting ninth in the premier league, this match might have a big impact on which team finishes in European spots.

The Blues suffered a 3-1 loss at London Stadium in their season-opening encounter with the opposing team. As a result, David Moyes’ team moved up the standings, and as recently as January, the Irons were sixth. Nevertheless, in 16 games across all competitions since the year’s beginning, West Ham has only triumphed three times. Furthermore, Moyes has a dismal record as a manager at Stamford Bridge, having lost eleven of his eighteen games in charge of the Hammers.

After their victory over Tottenham on Thursday, the Blues ought to be feeling optimistic. A win today would bring them to within two points of sixth place in the Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team will only focus on playing European football the following season over the remaining four games of the current campaign. Chelsea, despite their inconsistent play, is still in the running to accomplish that. Although the team still has a very long injury list, the return of Christopher Nkunku and Levi Colwill to the starting lineup today would be a much-needed boost.
