Chelsea will face West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, aiming for their fifth straight win in all competitions.

The team has climbed into the top five of the table after a strong month under manager Liam Rosenior. They are boosted by a thrilling 3–2 win in Naples, which secured their place in the Champions League knockout stage. Now, Chelsea looks to continue their domestic success and narrow the gap to the top four. A victory tonight would be another key achievement for Rosenior early in his role.

The squad is strengthened by the return of key players. Cole Palmer is ready to start after his decisive performance in Italy.
