The Hammers welcome the Blues to the London Stadium tomorrow evening for what is a hugely important games for both sides.
Thomas Tuchel has done a fine job since taking over at Stamford Bridge. He has his Chelsea side sitting in fourth spot in the table.
Moyes has worked miracles at the London Stadium, however, and the Blues will not be relishing a trip to East London to take on West Ham one little bit.
The Hammers can climb back above our London rivals with a victory tomorrow. And all three points would put us in a truly excellent position with just five games to play.
Champions League football is a very real possibility next season for West Ham. Even saying that is hard to believe!
With the top four race heating up, tomorrow’s clash between West Ham and Chelsea should be an absolute corker.
West Ham boss David Moyes drops big Jesse Lingard boost
The 28-year-old has been absolutely vital for the Hammers since moving to the London Stadium on loan in January.
It was a huge worry when he went down late on with a suspected injury against Newcastle last weekend.
Moyes told reporters today that Lingard is just fine, however, as quoted by Football.London:
“Lingard had cramp, he is fine.”
Having Jesse available for selection against Chelsea is a huge boost.
We need him fit and firing for the remainder of the season.
And West Ham have every chance of qualifying for the Champions League this season if Lingard maintains his fine form for the final six Premier League games.
