Welcome to the Independent's live coverage of Chelsea's match against top-four chasing West Ham United on another intriguing weekend of Premier League action across the country.

That couldn't be further from the truth in the case of Slaven Bilic's happy Hammers who are looking to close in on fourth-placed Manchester City with a victory in West London today.
