Fixture: West Ham United vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)
West Ham United have announced their team and substitutes for this evening's Premier League match against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea at Upton Park.
Hammers manager Sam Allardyce has chosen to make one change to his starting eleven from West Ham's last game, with Kevin Nolan coming in to replace Alex Song in midfield. Song drops down to the bench this evening. Up front, West Ham look to Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho to shoot down Chelsea, while Stewart Downing will aim to supply the ammunition.
At the back Winston Reid and James Tomkins will aim to keep Chelsea at bay, while Mark Noble looks to dominate in midfield. On the bench, Allardyce can turn to new signing Nene if he wants to inject an extra attacking option to trouble the Blues.
West Ham head into tonight's game sitting ninth in the Premier League table and in desperate need of the three points to bolster their ambitions of a European spot.
West Ham United Team vs Chelsea
