West Ham visits Stamford Bridge on Saturday, looking for their third consecutive Premier League win.

After important victories against Tottenham and Sunderland, Nuno Espírito Santo’s team has gained momentum. Arriving in West London, they hope to move out of the relegation zone after ending a 10-match winless streak. Although they face a strong Chelsea team, West Ham has shown determination and efficiency lately, which may be crucial for their survival.

West Ham Team News

Under Nuno Espírito Santo, the squad is nearly at full strength for this match. Adama Traoré might make his full debut after joining in January. However, due to the impressive form of Crysencio Summerville, who has scored in the last two league games, the lineup may stay the same. West Ham has several options to challenge a Chelsea defense that is missing key players.

Jarrod Bowen is the key offensive player, recently breaking Paolo Di Canio’s club record for the most games played with a goal and assist. Valentin Castellanos is expected to lead the forward line.
