Chelsea v West Ham United: Confirmed team news ahead of London derby

Chelsea play their first game since the passing of club legend Ray Wilkins when they meet West Ham this afternoon.

Football has been paying tribute to the late midfield maestro all weekend and that will continue at Stamford Bridge where Wilkins, who captained the Blues at 18, was much-loved.

Antonio Conte's side have lost five of their last seven Premier League games and now sit 11 points off the to four. However, they have not lost at home to their opponents in 11 league games.

The Hammers will be looking to take their form from the recent 3-0 victory over Southampton to West London with them as they bid to move further clear of the relegation zone.
