Now managed by head coach Enzo Maresca, Chelsea are looking to bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last three matches (W2, D1) at home in all competitions since their Boxing Day loss against Fulham. Maresca's side now see themselves outside the top four places and they are looking to return to the Champions League qualification places before the end of the season.

Meanwhile, West Ham head into the London derby with just one win to their name in the last six matches (D1, L4) in all competitions.
