English Premier League Sunday: West Ham United, Birmingham City The Undercard For Chelsea, Liverpool’s Main Event

A relegation six-pointer starts the English Premier League's Sunday doubleheader, though most eyes will be on Stamford Bridge for the day's second match, where Fernando Torres is expected to make his Chelsea debut against his former club, Liverpool. But first, across town at Upton Park, West Ham United and Birmingham City start the day at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.

Entering today's match on 24 points, both the Hammers a Blues could jump out of the drop with a win. West Ham is coming off a mid-week win at Bloomfield Road, with January acquisition Robbie Keane opening his Hammers account in a 3-1 win over Blackpool. Birmingham City got a late goal from Craig Gardner in drawing Manchester City 2-2 at St. Andrews. Meeting for the fourth time since November, the teams have each posted a 1-1-1 record against each other over the last three months.

At 11:00 a.m. Eastern, Liverpool takes a three match winning streak into Stamford Bridge, featuring a Chelsea side expected to give Fernando Torres his Blues debut. Chelsea has also won three in a row, and having seen league-leading Manchester United handed their first loss yesterday, Carlo Ancelotti's team could claw back toward a title race should they snap Liverpool's run.
