It's East versus West London on Sunday as Chelsea take on West Ham at Stamford Bridge with both side's European aspirations up for grabs.
The Blues currently sit in eight after their 2-0 victory at home against Spurs on Thursday, but face a quick turnaround around for another capital clash.
The Hammers effectively ended Liverpool's title challenge last Saturday by holding the Reds to an entertaining 2-2 draw at the London Stadium, and need a win here to keep alive their outside chance of claiming seventh spot and a Europe Conference League place.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game, which is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
