West Ham United will face a stern test this week, when they face off with Chelsea in their week 34 Premier League match. This is a direct clash between two clubs in the top 7 of the Premier League.

In their most recent match the Hammers were able to hold out for an
important point away to Aston Villa at Villa Park. Diego Tristan of
Spain was the hero for the side managed by Gianfranco Zola as he scored
the equalizer 5 minutes from time. The important point leaves West Ham
in 7th place of the log with 45 points and they sit 1 point ahead of
8th place Fulham. Collison, Cole, and Behrami are all set to miss out
this week.

The visiting Chelsea have been one of the most consistent clubs in
the Premier League since the arrival of Russian National team boss Guus
Hiddink. The club is flying high these days after qualifying for the FA
Cup final. They presently sit in 3rd place of the Premier League with
68 points and trail 2nd place Liverpool by 3 points. At this time, Jose
Bosingwa is listed as doubtful.
