90'+4'

That's all for today's live coverage. Thanks for joining, goodbye!

90'+4'

Moyes' side are now three points clear of the relegation zone after this massive victory - only their second in 12 league matches - while Chelsea miss out on the chance to climb into third. Next up for Lampard's men is a home match against Watford on Saturday, a day before West Ham's trip to Newcastle United.

90'+4'

FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 3-2 CHELSEA

90'+3'

Moyes introduces Balbuena for Fornals with time nearly up at the London Stadium.

90'+1'

Chelsea have offered little in terms of a response so far. They are probing away down both flanks but chances are proving to be few and far between.

90'

Four minutes have been added on at the end of this entertaining Premier League clash.

89'

Antonio led the counter-attack and slotted an inch-perfect pass through for Yarmolenko. What a huge goal that is for West Ham!

89'

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!! WEST HAM 3-2 CHELSEA!!! What a huge moment this could be at both ends of the table! Having soaked up pressure pretty much since Willian's second goal, West Ham spring forward and take the lead. Yarmolenko brings the ball inside and makes the finish look easy as he tucks it away from Kepa's reach.

88'

West Ham will move a point clear of the bottom three as things stand, while Chelsea will remain fourth and just three points above Manchester United in fifth. There is an awful lot to play for in these final couple of minutes.

86'

West Ham are standing strong at the back, heading away every cross that comes into the middle. Even Yarmolenko is back inside his own box defending!

85'

You get the impression that Chelsea are about to throw the kitchen sink at West Ham - they want all three points. Another cross from the left drops nicely at the back post, but Pulisic gives away a free-kick for his shove on Rice.

83'

CHANCE! Giroud attempts to flick Alonso's left-sided cross towards goal but gets his contact all wrong. West Ham are living dangerously.

82'

Two-goal Chelsea forward Willian is cautioned for a foul on Cresswell.

81'

Azpilicueta's cross towards Giroud is well defended by Soucek, who is now effectively playing as a third centre-back.

80'

Fredericks stands up a cross towards the back post but none of his team-mates can get on the end of it. Chelsea cannot afford to switch off at the back as we enter the final 10 minutes in east London.

78'

It is one-way traffic at the London Stadium as Moyes prepares to make another change. Will the West Ham boss stick or twist?

78'

Moyes makes a fairly positive substitution by introducing Yarmolenko for Bowen in attack.

76'

Fabianski took a step to the right before launching himself to the left in an attempt to keep out Willian's free-kick. The West Ham goalkeeper will definitely feel that he could have done better.

75'

Chelsea have plenty of momentum on their side now, and look particularly threatening whenever Pulisic is on the ball. West Ham may struggle to hold on for another 15 minutes.

74'

NEARLY A THIRD! Pulisic cuts inside three players and drills a low shot into the side-netting, though Fabianski looked to have this one covered - unlikely Willian's free-kick a couple of minutes ago.

72'

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! WEST HAM 2-2 CHELSEA!!! WILLIAN AT THE DOUBLE! From more than 25 yards out, Willian bends the free-kick around the wall and in off the far post. Fabianski was beaten a little too easily there.

70'

Rice enters the referee's book for a challenge on Pulisic, who was flying through on goal. That is called taking one for the team!

69'

It is time for another drinks break at the London Stadium. Lampard will use this 60-second stoppage to drill some instructions into his players.

68'

Moyes introduces Wilshere in place of Lanzini with his side a goal to the good.

67'

Pulisic's clipped cross is well defended by West Ham. The double change from Lampard has paid off - Chelsea look a lot brighter, with Giroud flicking a free-kick on target for Fabianski to pluck out of the air.

65'

POOR! Alonso plays the ball down the line for Willian. The Brazil forward does well to keep it in play and sends a first-time cross towards the front post, but Loftus-Cheek cannot direct it goalwards with his miscued shot.

65'

Lanzini is booked for a late challenge on Chelsea skipper Azpilicueta.

63'

Mount tries to jink past a couple of players in the opposition box but is unable to do so. Kante then plays a simple pass straight to West Ham - it is clearly not Chelsea's day.

63'

Loftus-Cheek is on for Barkley in central midfield in the third of Chelsea's changes.

63'

Abraham, who has been disappointing today, is replaced by Giroud.

61'

Lampard is holding off from making his second change for now, but that will surely change soon. The visitors are getting nowhere fast at the moment, with Abraham barely involved in the game.

59'

WIDE! West Ham have a man over as they hit Chelsea on the counter. Bowen feeds it to Lanzini, but his curler from just inside the box is off target.

58'

The match has a different feel to it following that second West Ham goal. Chelsea now have a little more urgency to their game, knowing that they are staring defeat in the face. Lampard still has Giroud and Hudson-Odoi on the bench.

54'

Chelsea are still in control of the match in terms of possession. They have not created near enough today, however, and West Ham now have a lead to protect.

53'

Lampard turns to his bench following that second setback of the match. Mount is on for Kovacic with Chelsea in need of a couple of goals.

51'

It is a second assist of the match for Bowen. He drilled a low cross towards the edge of the six-yard box and Antonio - who had a penalty should rejected in the build-up to the goal - was in the right place to convert.

51'

Christensen gets his head to Antonio's latest long throw into the box - good defending from the Chelsea man.

51'

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!! WEST HAM 2-1 CHELSEA!! Where did this piece of play come from?! The hosts exchange passes down the left and then work it down the right to Bowen, whose low cross is fired home by Antonio on the edge of the six-yard box.

50'

Antonio tries to take Cresswell's flicked pass in his stride down the left but is unable to do so.

49'

Chelsea have started the second half on top. Abraham and Pulisic exchange passes, but the latter is unable to drag the ball away from a grounded Soucek inside the box.

45'+2'

GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! WEST HAM 1-1 CHELSEA!!! The home side equalise just before half-time - and it is Soucek once again who helps the ball over the line. The midfielder outjumps Azpilicueta, gets his head to Bowen's corner and sends the ball back across goal, with this one allowed to stand.

46'

RESTART! West Ham get us back up and running at the London Stadium. Fingers crossed for a second half as lively as the final 15 minutes of the first half!

45'+4'

Lampard will be furious with his side's defending in that first half, having twice gifted Soucek a goal from a corner - only one of those allowed to stand. Chelsea held the lead for just five minutes and Lampard may well decide to change things at the interval, as he did when making a triple substitution at Leicester City on Sunday.

45'+4'

HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 1-1 CHELSEA

45'+2'

Bowen sent the ball into a dangerous zone and, with Kepa pretty much stranded on his line, Soucek simply had to outjump Azpilicueta to get the goal he deserves.

45'

Antonio exchanges words with referee Martin Atkinson, presumably about the VAR call a little earlier. The West Ham forward tries to wriggle into the box down the right once play resumes, but Rudiger stands his ground.

43'

Full credit to Pulisic for winning that penalty. He appears to have found his stride since returning to action a couple of weeks ago.

42'

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! WEST HAM 0-1 CHELSEA!! Talk about adding insult to injury! Five minutes after having a goal ruled out for a contentious offside, West Ham fall behind to this well-taken Willian penalty. The Brazil forward sends Fabianski the wrong way from 12 yards.

39'

The hosts cannot afford to drop their heads after that offside decision. Chelsea are bossing possession, as they were before the goal, but are not doing a great deal with it.

38'

Moyes is not a happy man down on the touchline - and why would he be?! That is a very harsh call on West Ham, with Soucek's first goal for the club - at the right end, at least - being ruled out due to Antonio's head being offside. The officials needed three-and-a-half minutes to look back at the incident.

33'

That was a nasty challenge from Alonso on Bowen, the Chelsea full-back dragging his boot down his opponent's calf. It should have been a yellow card at the very least.

32'

Antonio does brilliantly to win an aerial battle and knock the ball down for Lanzini. West Ham look to move the ball quickly, but Bowen is caught by Alonso and Chelsea can regroup.

31'

Barkley has another go from range but Diop gets between the ball and the goal.

28'

Alonso's teasing low cross from the left is well intercepted by Soucek in the six-yard box. It is backs-to-the-wall stuff from West Ham's perspective.

27'

Alonso cuts out a cross at one end and Ogbonna does likewise at the other. For all of Chelsea's possession, the best opening they have managed so far is the one that fell the way of Pulisic around six minutes ago.

25'

Play resumes at the London Stadium with Chelsea quickly finding their stride again. The visitors have had 76 per cent of the ball so far and have managed four shots.

23'

With 23 minutes on the clock, the referee signals for the first drinks break of the contest. Moyes and Lampard are giving some instructions to their players.

21'

INCHES WIDE! Azpilicueta squares the ball for Pulisic and the winger's first-time shot from 14 yards skims the side-netting. Pulisic feels that he could have done better from that chance, the visitors' best of the match so far.

19'

ANOTHER SAVE! The shot count is starting to rack up for Chelsea now as Barkley spins and gets a long-range effort away. Fabianski barely has to break stride to keep it out.

18'

After another prolonged spell of possession for Chelsea, West Ham finally win it back and quickly attack. Antonio tries to break clear down the left but Christensen does very well to stick with his man.

16'

That previous passage of play just goes to show West Ham could have a bit of luck today if they get at Chelsea. Normal service has resumed, though, and the hosts are sitting right back.

15'

CHANCE! West Ham finally press Chelsea high up the pitch and it leads to their first chance of the match. Antonio turns Christensen and Rudiger before getting away a shot-cross that ends wide of the far post.

13'

Soucek flicks on Antonio's long throw and the ball lands at the feet of Bowen, who is unable to bring it under control. The offside flag would have denied him, anyway.

11'

SHOT! Ogbonna cuts out Alonso's cross but Willian is quickly onto the loose ball. He shifts inside on his right foot and tries to bend it into the far corner, but Fabianski makes another routine save.

9'

Antonio is leading the line for West Ham today and is not involved in the game at all. Moyes' men are sitting deep in the hope of being able to hit Chelsea on the counter.

7'

The hosts are having to soak up a fair bit of pressure now. Willian tries to make something happen down the right but is unable to break into the opposition box.

6'

SAVE! West Ham fail to deal with the corner and Alonso attempts to beat Fabianski with an acrobatic effort. It is a rather weak attempt and the Poland keeper has a straightforward stop to make.

4'

Willian switches play down the left, where Alonso is left pretty much all alone. He sends in another cross towards the box but it is cut out for a corner.

3'

Alonso swings in a cross from the left but it is out of Abraham's reach. Having dominated possession early on, West Ham are sitting back a little more now.

2'

West Ham have seen more of the ball than Chelsea in the opening couple of minutes. They are passing the ball around well, albeit without really managing to get it into any dangerous areas.

1'

KICK-OFF! Chelsea, who can move into third place with victory here, get us up and running in the English capital.

0'

The teams are coming out onto the pitch at the London Stadium, with kick-off just moments away. This match will be played behind closed doors, as will every other Premier League game between now and the end of the season.

0'

In complete contrast to their London rivals, Chelsea have taken maximum points since returning to action and edged past Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday. Frank Lampard's men are on a five game winning run in all competitions, in fact, and are two points clear of fifth-place Manchester United ahead of this game.

0'

West Ham have lost back-to-back matches since returning to action last month, going down by the same 2-0 scoreline to Wolves and Tottenham. It is one win in 11 league games going further back, meanwhile, with David Moyes' side only outside the relegation zone thanks to a superior goal difference over Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
