After suffering back to back league losses, can Chelsea get back to winning ways as they take on West Ham? Live Soccer TV's match preview provides global broadcast listings, key match stats, and team news for Chelsea vs West Ham

Preview: Chelsea vs West Ham

With losses in their last two games, Chelsea, who were once nearly sitting on top of the league table, have now slid down to eighth spot. In fact, just one point now separates them from upcoming visitors West Ham, who sit in tenth place and will be eager to make it three wins in a row against the Blues for the first time since the 1970's. Although Chelsea have lost just one of their last 14 home fixtures against the Hammers, their sole loss during this time came in this exact same fixture last season, and that's something Frank Lampard's men will have on the back of their minds heading into this match - especially as West Ham have only lost one of their last six games.

Chelsea face some tricky matches against Manchester City and an Aston Villa side who have surprised many with their solid showings this term, so the Blues really will not want to drop and more points - especially as their upcoming opponents are currently on either side of them in the league table. However, they have drawn two of their last four home games, and West Ham, who have won consecutive road matches, will naturally be looking to take advantage of that.

Team news: Chelsea vs West Ham

Chelsea: Both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Hakim Ziyech will have to pass late fitness test ahead of this match as although the duo returned to training last week, they are still recovering from hamstring issues.

West Ham: Arthur Masuaku is out after having to undergo knee surgery, while Michail Antonio will hope to finally shake off a hamstring problem that has kept him out of several matches. Meanwhile, Fabian Balbuena recently missed the Hammers' last game due to a knock, but may be fit to return here.
