The Hammers have been the league's surprise package since the turn of the year and enter this weekend's round of fixtures in the fight for a top four finish, but having succumbed to a 3-2 loss at Newcastle United last time out as their hopes of Champions League football took a blow. 
 
"We know we've lost a game we'd like to have won but we're also just off a really good win over Leicester (City) and a really good win at Wolves, so we'll move on," said West Ham manager David Moyes following the defeat. 

"We've got some big games to come up and we want to take them full on and give the same effort and commitment."
 
Chelsea, who will host Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday evening, bounced back to winning ways with a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace to move within a point of their London rivals and with the opportunity to go into the fixture above them.
