West Ham vs Chelsea LIVE commentary: Hammers need London derby win to move away from bottom three as struggling Blues look to end Joao Felix’s scoring woes

Chelsea make the short trip to take on London rivals West Ham this weekend looking for a win to turn the tide.

The Blues have continued to struggle under Graham Potter and languish in ninth place in the Premier League.

Potter’s side have scored just seven goals in their last 12 games, the same number they scored in their first three games under their new boss.

And after drawing 0-0 in their last two games, their woes in front of goal continue and West Ham will be hoping to capitalise.

The Hammers drew against top-flight Newcastle last time out and David Moyes’ side will be looking to build on that positive result.

West Ham vs Chelsea: What was said?

Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United are reportedly interested in West Ham’s Declan Rice and this week the midfielder’s valuation has been set.

talkSPORT host Jim White has revealed how much it would take for other Premier League sides to get Rice away from the Hammers.

White said: “What would it take for an offer to be considered successful in the next window? We understand that £120m plus add-ons would get it.

“We understand that Manchester United last summer offered £100m and didn’t get it. Chelsea, Arsenal and United are still in the frame.

“That’s what it would take £120m plus add-ons.”
