West Ham Team News:
Gianfranco Zola's side go into the match in seventh place in the Premier League table. West Ham have 45 points from their 33 matches and sit a point clear of local rivals Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur with five games remaining. A seventh-place finish will be good enough to qualify for next season's UEFA Europa League.
The Hammers go into the match unbeaten in their last four home matches in all competitions, and have not conceded a goal in their last three home Premier League fixtures.
-West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola could welcome back Radoslav Kovac from the thigh injury.
-Scott Parker is sidelined with the groin injury.

Aside from reaching the FA Cup final by beating Watford, Coventry City and Everton and UEFA Champions League semi-finals with victories over Juventus and Liverpool, Hiddink has also led the Blues on a run of just one defeat in their last eight Premier League matches.
