Saturday top tips: Reds, Blues and Hammers resume battle for a top-four finish

West Ham did the double over Chelsea in the Premier League last season and a victory over the Blues at the London Stadium would be a major boost to their chances of a shock top-four finish.

Liverpool are also in the hunt for the top four but they take on a Newcastle side who have put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone thanks to back-to-back wins over Burnley and the Hammers.
