Confirmed: Chelsea duo set to miss West Ham clash, Blues have further two doubts

West Ham United will go into their clash with Chelsea on Wednesday much fresher after the Blues' 1-0 victory against Leicester in the FA Cup.

The Hammers' last game was the defeat at Spurs, which will almost be a couple of weeks ago when they run out in East London.

David Moyes will be desperate for three points in the London derby, especially after the back-to-back defeats since the Premier League restart.

The task at hand won't be simple, but it could have gotten a little bit easier with the latest injury update from Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have confirmed on their website that both Christian Pulisic and Andreas Christiensen are set to miss the trip to the London Stadium.

As well as those two, the Blues are doubtful over the fitness of Fikayo Tomori and Callum Hudson-Odoi who are both yet to feature since the restart.

As for West Ham, we have learnt that Sebastien Haller will not be risked in the game, meaning that Michail Antonio is set to continue leading the line.

Chelsea have also suggested in their preview that Arthur Masuaku could return for the Hammers, who need every little boost they can get ahead of this clash.

West Ham are still out of the relegation zone on goal difference, and it is vitally important that they start to pick up points in these games.
