West Ham opened the 2016/17 season with a trip across London to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and were cruelly denied a point when Diego Costa scored in the dying minutes to give the Blues a 2-1 win.
Slaven Bilic’s men got their own back (in a way) later in the Autumn when Antonio Conte’s side came to the London Stadium for an EFL Cup clash.
Matching Chelsea’s 3-4-3 formation, West Ham went toe-to-toe with the Blues and goals from Chiekhou Kouyate and Edimilson Fernanes helped the Hammers to a 2-1 victory of their own in a game which was largely marred by fan violence in the away end.
The Hammers have lost just one of their last six Premier League games as Chelsea go into tomorrow’s game looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 10 points.
Here’s our predicted West Ham XI for tomorrow’s clash.
