Chelsea vs Westham
After enjoying a comfortable run in the league, Chelsea could start looking over their shoulder with their position under threat from the north Londoners. On Sunday, the reigning European champions face another team from the capital, who could inflict more damage, in the form of West Ham United.
Chelsea are in the FA Cup Final, which remains their only chance of silverware left this season. Tuchel will want his side to open up a gap over Tottenham and Arsenal as he looks forward to finishing the season on a high note. While they failed against Arsenal, they have two more important games lined up against the Hammers and Manchester United that represent a season-defining period for their manager.
West Ham may have one eye on their Europa League campaign after reaching the semi-finals. But David Moyes will be keen on repairing the team’s league form. They have dropped points in the last two games, losing to Brentford and then drawing against Burnley.
Those results have put them out of the running for the top-four place, although they could still qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League. A good result against Chelsea will go a long way toward instilling the belief for a good end of the season run.

Chelsea will be without Antonio Rudiger (groin) and Mateo Kovacic (ankle) for Sunday’s clash, after Tuchel confirmed the pair were still unavailable.
“No, for Sunday’s match they are not back,” said Tuchel on Friday. “Also no other injuries.”
After such a poor display from the Blues against Arsenal, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz look likely to return to the starting lineup.
