The hosts are chalked up as warm 4/11 (1.36) favourites with Coral to maintain their push for a Uefa Champions League qualification berth by getting the better of Sam Allardyce's men.

Despite experiencing mixed fortunes this term, the Blues have an impressive home record, having lost just two of their 14 Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge and, indeed, it is worth noting that the west Londoners have lead at half-time on no fewer than eight occasions.
By contrast, West Ham have struggled on the road this term, with last weekend’s win over Stoke City their first away win in 10 matches in all competitions while Sam Allardyce’s men have managed a paltry nine league goals away from home thus far this term.

Juan Mata opened the scoring when these sides met back in December and the Spanish midfielder, who is Chelsea’s top scorer so far this term with 18 goals in all competitions, is available at 11/2 (6.50) to repeat the feat this weekend.
Mata broke the deadlock for the Blues against Steaua Bucharest in Thursday's Europa League tie and his guile may again hold the key to unlocking the West Ham defence on Sunday.
