Still on the prowl for a Champions League place, Chelsea welcome relegation-threatened West Ham to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in Premier League action.
The Blues sealed their place in this year's UCL Round of 16 with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Napoli to close out league phase play.
Yet their position in next year's tournament still remains in doubt, as they cling to fifth position in the domestic standings. Top four are guaranteed to be in next year's top European competition, although England are very likely to secure a fifth UCL spot based on this year's results.
West Ham, meanwhile, currently occupy the final relegation position as they sit 18th in the standings on 20 points through 23 games. They are five points back of safety, with Nottingham Forest in 17th currently on 25 points and holding a stronger goal differential.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
