Slaven Bilic has warned his players not to take Chelsea lightly, even though the champions seemingly have nothing to play for after going out of the Champions League and the FA Cup. Chelsea are nine points behind West Ham United, who are two points off the top four, and have a selection headache with Diego Costa suspended. Nonetheless, Bilic is wary of their threat and West Ham will need to be at their best to win at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2002. Jacob Steinberg
