"Chelsea welcome London rivals West Ham to Stamford Bridge this evening, with Liam Rosenior enjoying a positive start to life in England. The Blues secured their place in the last-16 of the Champions League by beating ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte's Napoli on the road, but now turn their attention back to the Premier League. Nuno Espirito Santo's men are on somewhat of good run, having won their last two games against Tottenham and Sunderland."
"Chelsea have scored 109 goals in 59 Premier League games against West Ham, their second-highest tally against an opponent after Spurs (122 in 67 games). Only Burnley have faced more shots (393) and shots on target (140) than West Ham in the Premier League this season (346 shots faced, 124 on target). However, the Hammers faced just two shots on target against Sunderland last time out, their lowest in a match this season."
