Chelsea faces West Ham United in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge in London, England, on Sunday, May 5, 2024 (5/5/24).
The Chelsea vs West Ham live stream today is a London derby full of bitter history and no little hatred. Both sides need to win to keep pace with the teams battling it out above them for the last European spots.
Where do you start with Chelsea? Not even two weeks on from a debilitating 5-0 defeat to Arsenal that seemed to have decapitated a slowly improving season, Mauricio Pochettino's side are back in the hunt for the final guaranteed European spot.
Thursday night's skittish 2-0 defeat of a haunted Tottenham put the Blues three points behind Manchester United with four games remaining and a realistic chance of salvaging something from what began as a poor campaign. Chelsea have won eight of their last 10 games at Stamford Bridge, with Cole Palmer still in the running for the Premier League Golden Boot.
West Ham are still hanging on to an outside chance of European football next season to wrap up what is increasingly looking like manager David Moyes' final season at the London Stadium. The Irons' 5-2 reverse at Crystal Palace two weeks ago – 4-0 down after 31 minutes – was typical of the East Enders' inconsistency this season, but a 2-2 draw last weekend with Liverpool gave a flicker of hope. Jarrod Bowen continues to excel. He's now on 20 goals in all competitions this season, but defensive frailties continue – their last league clean sheet came on January 2 against Brighton.

Chelsea and West Ham United add another chapter to their long-standing London rivalry as the two English outfits square off in a feisty Premier League battle.
Chelsea defeated city rivals Tottenham Hotspur in an illustrious showing against Ange Postecoglou's men winning the encounter 2-0. With four games left for the season to end, the Blues would be vying to pick up maximum points and keep rising in the Premier League rankings.
West Ham United continue their hunt for a win as David Moyes' men are without a victory in their previous three domestic clashes. The Hammers managed to hold Liverpool to a stalemate at the London Stadium last weekend as they face another daunting challenge in Chelsea.
‘Project ACL’ will focus on players in the Women’s Super League in England as part of a three-year study into an injury that is suffered by a disproportionate number of female players compared to their male counterparts.
Organizers of the project said women were two to six times more likely than men to suffer ACL injuries.
The players have rightly called for more research into ACL injury, and Project ACL is a response to both their needs and those of the industry more broadly, said Dr. Alex Culvin, head of strategy and research for women’s football at world players’ union FIFPRO.
The project is a joint partnership between FIFPRO, the Professional Footballers Association, Nike and Leeds Beckett University.
Organizers said research showed about two-thirds of ACL injuries in women’s soccer occurred without physical contact.
The study will include tracking factors surrounding workload, travel and appearances when players are in what is known as the ‘critical zone,’ which is the cumulative effect of playing back-to-back games with less than five days rest in between.
Several high-profile players have been struck down by ACL injuries in recent times and that has heightened attention on the issue.
Chelsea and Australia striker Sam Kerr was hurt in January. Alexia Putellas, Beth Mead and Leah Williamson have also gone down.
A U.K. parliament report said in March that the rise in ACL injuries to women highlighted a systemic gender inequality in sports.
It cited a lack of footwear specifically designed for the needs of female soccer players as one area of concern.
Project ACL says it will take a broad look at potential causes.
Most of the research to date on ACL injury in women has focused on single sex-based risk factors like the mechanics of female bodies, said Dr. Stacey Emmonds of Leeds Beckett University. The research in Project ACL will look at the bigger picture to consider the gendered environmental factors that may influence injury risk in women’s professional football.
The Blues proved too good London rivals Tottenham on Thursday night thanks to goals from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson, and it means they are now only two points behind sixth-placed Manchester United ahead of the final few games of the season.
West Ham, meanwhile, are surely coming towards the end of the David Moyes era, with Julen Lopetegui currently the frontrunner to take charge this summer.
It looks increasingly unlikely the Scot will stay at the club beyond the end of his contract at the end of the season and, as a result, it’s about finishing on a high.
