Preview: West Ham United vs. Chelsea

Sports Mole previews the London derby between West Ham United and Chelsea at Upton Park.

Chelsea travel to Upton Park on Saturday evening eager to earn their first Premier League victory in three matches.

The Blues have picked up just a point from fixtures against Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion, and Jose Mourinho will be keen to build some momentum domestically going into the winter months.

The Portuguese coach could recall John Obi Mikel and Andre Schurrle as he looks to tighten things up on the road.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has seen the Hammers drop to 16th position in the Premier League table after their defeat to Norwich City two weeks ago.

That could encourage the former Bolton Wanderers chief to give Carlton Cole a first Premier League start after he rejoined the club on a free transfer.
