This Saturday, Chelsea will look to secure their third consecutive Premier League away win as they travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham United. With both teams aiming to climb the table – Chelsea sitting 8th and West Ham 14th – this London derby promises to deliver fireworks, and the man in charge of the game will be referee Samuel Barrott. 

The atmosphere is bound to be electric, as the Hammers hope to patch up their leaky defense while Chelsea look to keep their momentum going. Buckle up – this one’s going to be a thriller! 

West Ham United are struggling at the start of this season, sitting 14th in the Premier League with just four points from their opening matches. As they prepare to host Chelsea, the Hammers will be desperate to avoid a new low — losing their first three home games in a single season for the first time ever. Chelsea, however, come into this fixture in a more stable position. 

Under new head coach Enzo Maresca, the Blues have picked up seven points from their opening four games, and there’s a sense of optimism despite rumblings of off-field drama involving co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. Chelsea’s history against West Ham is favorable too. The Blues have beaten the Hammers 30 times in 56 Premier League encounters. 

West Ham will be sweating over the fitness of Emerson Palmieri and Niclas Fullkrug, both of whom are doubtful for Saturday’s clash. On the Chelsea side, Reece James remains unavailable with a hamstring injury, but there’s some good news for the Blues.

Romeo Lavia, Malo Gusto, Enzo Fernandez, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall all trained this week after missing the previous fixture against Bournemouth and could be available for selection. 

📈West Ham have won just 1 out of their last 8 home Premier League games, indicating a poor run of form at the London Stadium.

📈Chelsea are undefeated at half-time in their last 13 Premier League encounters with West Ham, showing the Blues often start strong in this fixture.

📈The Hammers have conceded at least one goal in their last 11 home Premier League games.

📈West Ham's home matches have been goal-fests recently, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last 4 home league games

📈Chelsea have a solid attacking record against West Ham, having scored in each of their last 9 Premier League meetings with the Hammers.

Chelsea head into this match as slight favorites, given their superior form and historical dominance in this fixture. West Ham’s leaky defense, combined with Chelsea’s improved attacking options, suggests that the Blues could find the back of the net more than once.
