Sunday afternoon’s game at Stamford Bridge sees Chelsea, looking to cement their place in the top four host London rivals West Ham United.

The Blues go in to the game on the back of Thursday evening’s 3-1 win over Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League; a result which set up a quarter final with Russian side Ruben Kazan.

However, their league form of late has been inconsistent to say the least, with two wins, two defeats and a draw in their last five games, though they won their last three in front of their own fans.

Demba Ba could return to the starting line-up in place of Fernando Torres, after the Senegal striker was ineligible last time out.

Ba is favourite to open the scoring against his old club, with Bet Victor offering a price of 5.5 (9/2), whilst fellow former Hammer Frank Lampard is a 7.0 (6/1) shot with a variety of firms.

The home win is 1.4 (2/5) with Paddy Power, with Bet 365 offering 9.5 (17/2), while the draw is 5.5 (9/2) with the same firm.

Having lost six of their last nine league games, the visitors may still be looking over their shoulder despite starting the weekend in twelfth position, nine points clear of the bottom three.

They did however pick up maximum points last time out, edging past Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium a fortnight ago.

The Hammers are without Joe Cole and George McCartney, with Kevin Nolan also doubtful though Mark Noble and James Tomkins are available having recovered from injury and illness respectively.

Andy Carrol is 13.0 (12/1) with Bet Victor to get the first goal of the game, while Jack Collison is a 29.0 (28/1) shot with the same firm having got the winner last time out.

West Ham’s 3-1 win in the reverse fixture back in December was their first over Chelsea in twelve games, and they have taken just one point in their last six visits to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have won the last two meetings at the Bridge by three clear goals, so you may be tempted to back the 6.0 (5/1) offered by Ladbrokes for them to do so once more.
