The Blues have an uphill battle to get into the Champion's League places after losing to their fiercest rivals last week, as they continue to struggle
Chelsea are facing up to the prospect of Europa League football next season after a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham, who won at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 1990, with another London derby to come against West Ham United.
West Ham are desperately battling for survival under David Moyes and will hope to upset a wounded Chelsea side, after they won 3-0 at home to Southampton last weekend.
Chelsea need to improve their form ahead of an FA Cup semi-final against Southampton, but may be lacking confidence going into another derby encounter.
