Live From Stamford Bridge: Chelsea 0-0 West Ham

Chelsea are unbeaten in 11 home Premier League games against West Ham (W8 D3), since a 2-3 defeat in September 2002.

West Ham last did the league double over Chelsea in the 2002-03 campaign – a season in which they were relegated.

The Blues haven’t lost back-to-back home Premier League London derbies since 1999, when they lost 0-1 against West Ham in the March, before Kanu’s hat-trick saw Arsenal triumph 3-2 in the October.

West Ham have lost each of their last three Premier League away games, last losing four in a row back in September 2016.

Alvaro Morata has scored in his last two games for Chelsea in all competitions – he’s not yet scored in three in a row for the Blues, last doing so at club level with Real Madrid in April 2017.

David Moyes has won none of his 14 away Premier League games against Chelsea, drawing six and losing eight.

Marko Arnautovic – who scored West Ham’s winner in the reverse fixture – has scored nine Premier League goals this season. The last West Ham player to reach double figures in the competition was Diafra Sakho in 2014-15 (10). Azpilicueta then tries something similar, but it pings over the heads of everyone in the box before going wide.

8: The corner is delivered for West Ham and Courtois looks to have made a shaky clearance, but Kevin Friend blows his whistle for a foul as Rice backs into the Chelsea goalkeeper.

As the clock switches to eight, there is a round of applause from around the ground once again for Ray Wilkins.

7: David Moyes is already hollering instructions at his team from the dugout after a strong start from Chelsea but they seem to have worked as West Ham pile forward.

A cross into the area from Masuaku on the left nearly meets Arnautovic at the near post, but some good defending from Cahill sees the ball behind for a corner.

5: CLOSE!! What a start that would've been for Chelsea. Hazard does superbly well to dance past a number of West Ham midfielders and defenders before trying his luck from the top left corner of the box, and it's a good hit.

However, it's not quite there as the ball whistles past the post.

3: There's plenty of noise inside Stamford Bridge this afternoon and it's been a good start from Chelsea as Willian tries his luck with a shot from just inside the area, but a West Ham body blocks his way.

Meanwhile, Arnautovic appears to be limping a bit and holding the back of his leg. Not good for West Ham if he has to go off...

1: Here we ladies and gents, Chelsea get the game underway at Stamford Bridge.

APPLAUSE FOR RAY

Before kick off, there are tributes for Ray Wilkins, who died on Wednesday at the age of 61. A video montage is played on the big screens with applause from around the ground before the official minute of applause.

There is also a seat in the dugout draped in his No 8 shirt with a bunch of flowers alongside it.

HERE COME THE TEAMS

Gary Cahill and Mark Noble lead the two sides out at Stamford Bridge, with Kevin Friend out man in the middle this afternoon.

The handshakes are under way with kick off fast approaching in west London!

PRICE BOOST

Eden Hazard to score first has been enhanced by Sky Bet, with his price now moving from 7/2 to 9/2.

MERSON'S PREDICTION

It's a big game but I do fancy Chelsea. After last week, though West Ham had a good result, it's a huge game for Chelsea.

Chelsea have to put a show on for their fans after last week against Tottenham. That was a disaster.

Fair play to West Ham last week, to turn up in major pressure. It's unbelievable. For me, I just think this is a game too far for them.

West Ham's Michail Antonio will miss the rest of the season following his injury against Southampton last weekend. Moyes confirmed Manuel Lanzini, who missed the game with the Saints, may feature.

The Premier League has served up plenty of tasty moments this weekend, but we have one more game to go with two London teams going head-to-head as Chelsea host West Ham.
