Monday night plays host to the first Premier League encounter between West Ham and Chelsea at the infamous new London Stadium, as the Blues seek to take another step towards the Premier League title.
West Ham have seemingly escaped the fervent rat race of the relegation zone, putting together a string of respectable results over the past few months – even after the acrimonious departure of Dimitri Payet.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been nothing short of immaculate this season, going on a nine-game unbeaten streak since losing their prior 13 game winning streak to Tottenham in January.
West Ham can, however, count on the fact that they beat Antonio Conte’s albeit understrength Chelsea side 2-1 in the EFL Cup this season, in what’s to date possibly their highest profile victory at the new stadium.
