West Ham United are set to take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in their next match.

Slaven Bilic claims that Angelo Ogbonna and Diafra Sakho are the only two West Ham United players who won’t be fit to face Chelsea this weekend.

West Ham have had to fight against injuries throughout the season, but there problems are lessening.

The Hammers are seeing many of their first-team squad return to full fitness, including Andy Carroll.

And Bilic claims that Ogbonna and Sakho are now the only two players he won’t be able to call upon due to fitness issues, although Michail Antonio is suspended.

West Ham have fought their way out of trouble this season, and have been greatly improved over recent months.

The Hammers are now comfortably sitting in mid-table, and their performances have been improving as the campaign has progressed.

West Ham face tough test if they are to beat Chelsea, though, as Antonio Conte’s side have been so dominant this campaign.

Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top of the table, and have not been beaten in any of their last nine matches.
