Chelsea will be desperate to arrest their recent slide down the table when they welcome West Ham to Stamford Bridge tonight (Monday).
The Blues enjoyed a brilliant run for a couple of months after a sluggish start to their campaign this term.
Frank Lampard’s side were on an absolute tear, embarking on a 14-match unbeaten run following their ouster from the Carabao Cup in September.
All the positive momentum, though, has been snapped in the past week, with Lampard & co. suffering back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.
West Ham, on the other hand, have enjoyed a fine first third of the 2020/21 Premier League campaign, losing just four of their opening 13 games.
Their recent run of results has been a tonic for their season, with just one defeat in their last six outings in the top-flight.
David Moyes’s methods are evidently having a definitive impact and the Hammers seem to be headed in the right direction.
The corresponding fixture last season saw West Ham claim a shock 1-0 win over Chelsea, with Aaron Cresswell scoring the only goal of the game.
Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell, Jorginho, Kanté, Mount, Werner, Abraham, Pulisic
West Ham XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Lanzini, Benrahma, Haller
