Prediction

With temporary manager Guus Hiddink admitting that Chelsea's Premier League title bid is now over, the Blues will look to the FA Cup and Champions League titles as top priorities. As such, some key players may be given a rest in preparation for Chelsea's Champions League semi-final match against Barcelona in Spain on Tuesday.

West Ham are in a good position for a European spot next season and so will be looking to take as many points as possible from their remaining matches. Although their form has been inconsistent recently - with a large injury list as partial reason - the Hammers are still capable of posting a threat, as their draw last week with Aston Villa has shown.

Chelsea enter the match as favourites to win, but with the Champions League fixture looming, European glory is more likely to be on the minds of the Blues than this upcoming match. And so if an understrength Blues side is fielded at Upton Park, the Chelsea players will have to work hard to avoid a low-scoring draw resulting on the day.
