The Hammers absolutely cannot afford to lose this afternoon.
In fact, it could be argued that we actually HAVE to win the game.
Newcastle did us a huge favour earlier today, picking up a point away at Liverpool.
And with Chelsea perhaps having one eye on Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid, the stars may well be aligning for West Ham.
Confirmed West Ham line-up will excite the Hammers fans
Champions League football is a very real possibility. It feels like a very real prospect.
And if West Ham beat the Blues today, the fans really will start to believe this is our season.
The team that David Moyes has picked to take on Chelsea today has every chance of bringing home the win.
Each and every player will have to be 100% on it this evening. Chelsea will be very tough opponents. We have proven this season that we are as resilient as they come, however.
All that’s left to say is come on boys, do the job. Bring home the win. Let’s do this.
