Pre-Match Press:

It seems that talismanic striker Andy Carroll is among the Hammers' headlines on a weekly basis. After quashing rumours of the frontman being courted by a team in China, West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic confirmed that Carroll (having spent time on the sidelines in recent weeks), is in contention to face Chelsea on Monday.

"Andy trained individually for the last few days and did everything with those medical guys, and then he joined us yesterday. Usually, the press conference is two days before a game, but this time, it’s four days," said Bilic.

“We still have three training days before the game but it looks good, especially for him. Altogether, it will be a good week of training for him. That should be enough for him to be fit for the game.

“I’m very optimistic about if he is fit or not, but it looks good. It means a lot to have him back.

“We have done well without him in the last few games but I’m sure we would have done better with him because he is one of our key players. It will be great to have him on the pitch on Monday.”
