NOT exactly the easiest place to visit when your relegation-threatened side is desperate for points. [West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/massive-warning-for-sullivan-as-west-ham-fans-vote-with-their-feet/) fans will travel more in hope than expectation across London this afternoon for the 5.30 kick off against Chelsea. However at least there is – for the time being – hope.
From the three wins in three which the Irons have achieved thanks to Premier League back to back wins and the defeat over QPR in the FA cup, at least Nuno has arrested the run of nine games without a win which threatened to derail the Hammers’ season completely.
Amidst rumours of injuries and late fitness tests this afternoon, Nuno has named his starting eleven to take on the Blues.
**West Ham United**
**Areola | Wan Bissaka, Mavropanos, Todibo, Diouf | Fernandes, Soucek | Summerville, Taty, Pablo, Bowen**
_Which means that Jarrod Bowen – over whom the injury worries were based – has passed a fitness test and plays whilst Ollie Scarles drops to the bench in place of Malick Diouf._
