Chelsea vs West Ham live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV today
In an unprecedented turn of events, Chelsea have lost three home games in a row following defeats to Brentford, Real Madrid and Arsenal.
It comes at a time when Thomas Tuchel’s side have more or less already guaranteed Champions League qualification for another season, but the German coach will not want his players to be taking their foot off the gas with an FA Cup final against Liverpool still to come in three weeks time.
Meanwhile, West Ham’s main focus is now on the Europa League and their first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
But David Moyes’ side still have a glimmer of hope when it comes to a top four finish, so they will still be keen to secure a victory over their London rivals.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of today’s match.
When is Chelsea vs West Ham?
The match will kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday 24 April.
How can I watch it online and on TV?
It will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League with coverage starting at 1pm.
Team news
Tuchel was already missing Antonio Rudiger before his replacement Andreas Christensen suffered an injury during the Arsenal loss and is still set to be missing for this one. Malang Sarr suffered a difficult evening in the London derby, so Trevoh Chalobah could come back into the fold alongside Thiago Silva. Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi all remain sidelined, with Ross Barkley also a doubt.
Moyes has a serious centre-back crisis less than a week out from their crucial Europa League semi-final first leg. Issa Diop has joined Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma on the injury list as West Ham prepare to drop Declan Rice into the defence to play alongside Craig Dawson.
Predicted line-ups
Chelsea: Mendy; James, Silva, Chalobah, Alonso; Jorginho, Kante, Mount; Werner, Havertz, Pulisic.
West Ham: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Rice, Cresswell; Soucek, Lanzini, Fornals; Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma.
Odds
Chelsea - 6/11
Draw - 7/2
West Ham - 28/5
Prediction
Chelsea are coming off the back of a torrid performance against Arsenal in midweek and will be hoping they can bounce back. But this could well be the perfect match for them given West Ham have their huge Europa League semi-final first leg in four days time. 2-0 Chelsea.
