Stamford Bridge - Chelsea F.C.
31st January 2026 Mark Carlaw (@markcarlaw)
West Ham today take on Chelsea hoping to continue recent form which has seen the Hammers win the last 3 in all competitions.
The London derby at Stamford Bridge undoubtedly sees Nuno’s side as the underdog, however there is hope that the hosts midweek Champions League trip may provide a slight opportunity.
Nuno is boosted by new signing Adama Traore, who could well be set to make his debut for the cockney boys today, although it’s likely to be from the hence.
It’s expected to be much of the same that faced and won well against Sunderland last weekend, although there could be late fitness tests at play.
Relegation rivals Leeds take on Arsenal earlier today, which could provide another big incentive to the players today to go all out for a hugely important result.
Today’s match kicks off at 5:30pm and is being shown live on Sky Sports.
