Chelsea 1-1 West Ham: 5 talking points

#5 West Ham have breathing space at the bottom

West Ham are looking likely to avoid the drop

West Ham's crucial point away to Chelsea helped them create some sort of breathing space between the Hammers and the teams in the battle to avoid relegation at the end of the season.

David Moyes' men are now 6 points away from the relegation zone and will face struggling Stoke City at home in their next league game.

On current form, they are expected to shrug off Stoke City after beating Southampton last week and getting an invaluable point against Chelsea on the night.

West Ham will also be heading into the game in better shape after Stoke lost to Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

However, Moyes will know that the job is far from done with the Hammers set to face Arsenal and the Manchester clubs in their remaining six games.
