An injury-ravaged West Ham hoping to frustrate Chelsea
West Ham
The Hammers come into this game with a slew of people unavailable for selection. Slaven Bilic will have to make do without Gokhan Tore, Angelo Ogbonna, Diafra Sakho due to injury, whilst Michail Antonio is suspended, and Andy Carrol, Alvaro Arbeola, and Haavard Nordtveit are all in doubt for this fixture.
However, the last time they met at West Ham's home ground, the Hammers managed to dump Chelsea out of the EFL Cup after beating them 2-1 earlier this season. They've also won their last league tie on home turf - albeit it was at their old ground - during which they again won 2-1. Will they be able to make it three wins in three against Antonio Conte's fearsome side?
Chelsea
Meanwhile, Tottenham's win over Everton means that Chelsea's lead has been cut to seven. It's still obviously a comfortable margin, but the Blues naturally will want to restore their double digit advantage. Conte has no injury or suspension concerns, meaning that he can field his strongest starting XI for this tie and despite West Ham experiencing an uptick in form, Chelsea are by far the heavy favorites to come out on top.
But here's an interesting stat: Chelsea have lost four games across all competitions this season. And all of those losses have taken place in London. First was a 2-1 loss to Liverpool in mid September, which was followed by a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of city rivals Arsenal the following week. That also so happens to be the only time all season that Conte's side have lost back-to-back games. A month later, there was the 2-1 reversal against West Ham in the EFL Cup. Then, on January 4th, they were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham in yet another London Derby. So, will they manage to avoid a loss here to an opponent who beat them five months prior?
