Premier League tie face Chelsea, standing 2th, and West Ham, standing 16st, Stamford Bridge , London, kicks off at 15:00 13 March 2010.
East meets west in a game where Chelsea will be searching to get back to winning way in the Premier League when London rivals West Ham visit Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea back on the road to victory with a 2-0 success over Stoke in the FA Cup last weekend after heavy defeat at home from Manchester City.
However, another omission in the league could be crucial for Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea in the race for the title glory.
A victory at the Stamford Bridge would see Chelsea go on top of the table, with Manchester United playing on Sunday and Arsenal kicking-off on Saturday evening.
Chelsea also is one eye looking on Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League clash with Inter Milan, as former Blues boss and 'special one' Jose Mourinho returns to his old club.
But, in other hand, a defeat to the struggling West Ham would mean three losses in four games for the Blues, and Ancelotti will not want to tempt morale hitting a low level ahead of the visit of the Nerazzurri.
A West Ham win would be a much needed, as Gianfranco Zola's men are actually just three points above the relegation zone.
In front of cooling relationship between Zola and the club's new owners demonstrating a confusion at Upton Park, another loss would put more pressure on a coach whose team has only one full success away all season.
The last time the Hammers travelled to Stamford Bridge the clash ended in a 1-1 draw, with Craig Bellamy scoring the opener before Nicholas Anelka equalised for the Blues.
Verdict: Chelsea vs West Ham 3-0
