West Ham Utd vs Chelsea: live

West Ham are hoping to produce a repeat performance of the corresponding fixture from last season when they face title-chasers Chelsea at the Boleyn this evening.

That day goals from Mo Diame, Carlton Cole and Modibo Maiga - who has failed to find the net since - gave the Hammers a thoroughly-deserved 3-1 win over the Blues, who had led 1-0 at the break.

This afternoon Sam Allardyce will have to do with the likes of Andy Carroll and reigning KUMB.com Player of the Year, Winston Reid, both of whom are unlikely to feature again before the New Year due to injury.

And whilst the Hammers go into the game as huge underdogs, hopes are high for a repeat performance of that famous win last December.

For those unable to attend the game today, live updates will be provided throughout the evening on our forum match thread, which may be found here: www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=150383.

Meanwhile any live video streams (of which there are likely to be many) will be listed in our 2013/14 season streaming thread at www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=148191. As always, you use these at your own peril.

KUMB.com will, as always, bring you a match summary at the final whistle, with the thoughts of both Sam Allardyce and his opposite number Jose Mourinho to follow later this evening/tomorrow morning.
