Chelsea vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates today after Bowen goal
Chelsea can today reclaim a place in the Premier League’s top four when they host West Ham. A reasonably poor run of form has sent Enzo Maresca’s side down into sixth as things stand but the Blues could move at least level on points with Newcastle and Manchester City with a point against the Hammers. A win, however, would see them leapfrog both and move back into fourth.
Still, the Irons do appear to be building under former Blues boss Graham Potter, who is making his first return to Stamford Bridge since his sacking last year. If they can claim a victory against a Chelsea side who do appear to have stalled of late, it would be some statement of intent from Potter.
A London derby on the day of the transfer window deadline is likely to be packed with narrative. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog! Malik Ouzia and Dom Smith will be providing expert analysis from the ground!

HT: Bowen’s goal the difference so far!
Chelsea 0-1 West Ham
20:46 , Jonathan Gorrie
45 mins: A brilliant save from Areola to deny Palmer’s fine free-kick.
Dom Smith at Stamford Bridge
20:45 , Jonathan Gorrie
That's an absolute gift for Jarrod Bowen, who scores on his return to the West Ham team and on his first appearance since December 29. Colwill never looked, fed Caicedo, or so he thought, and there was Bowen. The Hammers lead.
GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 West Ham | Jarrod Bowen '41
20:43 , Jonathan Gorrie
41 mins: GOAL!
Bowen gives the Hammers the lead! Dreadful back pass from Colwill, the England man latches onto it before firing past Jorgensen.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham

30 mins: Madueke plays in Enzo Fernandez but the Argentine shoots wide.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham

29 mins: It did look as if Jackson was going off but he’s able to continue.
Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge
20:29 , Jonathan Gorrie
Not a moment’s hesitation from Enzo Maresca there - as soon as Jackson went down there he turned to Marc Guiu and not Christopher Nkunku.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
20:28 , Jonathan Gorrie
27 mins: Blow for Chelsea as Jackson pulls up with what appears to be a hamstring injury.

You don’t get enough proper cult heroes these days but Andy Irving is right in that category, which is quite some going considering this is his first West Ham start.
Dom Smith at Stamford Bridge
20:25 , Jonathan Gorrie
Bit of a let-off for West Ham, that. Palmer given way too much space to shoot from the edge of the box. Then some nice mischievous chants from the Hammers' fans, who proceed to call Palmer "just a s**t Andy Irving."
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
20:23 , Jonathan Gorrie
22 mins: Palmer shoots over from just outside the box.
May have done better but it’s a sign of life for the Blues, who haven’t been great so far.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
20:20 , Jonathan Gorrie
18 mins: Irving tries his luck from range with a volley after Tosin clears but fires over.
Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge
20:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
You couldn’t call it the most convincing of starts from Filip Jorgensen in the home goal. He looks a little jittery.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
20:16 , Jonathan Gorrie
14 mins: Best chance of the game so far as Madueke fires wide when attempting to shoot across Areola after good work from Jackson.
Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge
20:11 , Jonathan Gorrie
A change in look for Enzo Maresca tonight, who is usually a tracksuit manager through and through. He’s smartened up but I’ll be honest, he does look a bit like he’s just come from a day at sixth form college. He’s got his smart shoes and trousers on, but a Nike puffa jacket up top
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
20:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
07 mins: Chelsea want a penalty after Cucurella brought down in the box by Emerson as the pair grappled before a Blues corner.
Nothing given!
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
20:05 , Jonathan Gorrie
04 mins: Not a lot to report on in the opening stages, with neither side having created too much just yet.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham

Graham Potter: Chelsea sacking might have been the best thing for me
18:34 , Jonathan Gorrie
Graham Potter says his sacking at Chelsea might have been for the best.
Potter was sacked in April 2023 with the Blues 11th in the Premier League table, having lost 11 of his 31 matches in charge.
He returns to the dugout at Stamford Bridge on Monday night when his West Ham side are the visitors in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca delighted as Reece James responds to public Chelsea criticism
18:16 , Jonathan Gorrie
Enzo Maresca has hailed Reece James’s growing influence as Chelsea captain - three months after calling him out for a lack of leadership.
James was named Blues skipper by Mauricio Pochettino at the start of last season and has kept the responsibility since Maresca’s appointment, despite missing much of the campaign so far with a series of hamstring issues.
Enzo Maresca denies Gary Neville claim Cole Palmer was 'played' by Pep Guardiola
18:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
Enzo Maresca has rubbished Gary Neville’s suggestion that Cole Palmer was ‘played’ by Pep Guardiola following Chelsea’s defeat at Manchester City last weekend.
Palmer endured a difficult night on his latest return to his former club, as City came from a goal down to win 3-1 and climb above Chelsea in the race for the Champions League.
Graham Potter stronger for Chelsea nightmare as West Ham boss prepares for first return
17:59 , Jonathan Gorrie
Graham Potter is a very optimistic person indeed. He returns to Stamford Bridge with a clear mind and without ill feeling towards Chelsea.
Monday night will see the 49-year-old coach from the dugout at the Bridge for the first time in more than 670 days, since he was sacked as the Blues’ manager.
