Chelsea will face West Ham in a crucial match as both teams aim to improve their chances of qualifying for European competitions.

Silva, the seasoned defender who is poised to bid farewell to Stamford Bridge at the conclusion of the campaign, makes his return to the starting line-up, replacing Alfie Gilchrist. This alteration stands as the sole change from the previous victorious encounter against Tottenham, where Chelsea emerged triumphant with a 2-0 scoreline.

However, the Blues faithful will undoubtedly be uplifted by the comebacks of Levi Colwill and Christopher Nkunku, who have been absent from action since early March. Notably, both players find themselves on the substitutes’ bench for today’s fixture.
