England Premier League
Sunday 23rd September 2018
Kick off at 1.30pm BST
Venue: Olympic Stadium
Match Preview:
At last West Ham have victory this season when they beat Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park last weekend. The Toffee men may have been missing some key players but the win for the Hammers was just as important as their next fixtures loom large and they are by no means easy.
First up is Chelsea and that is followed by Manchester United and the only positive to take is that Manuel Pellegrini’s side will have home advantage in both matches.
West Ham have some points on the board but they will be facing a very difficult task to get anything from this game. Chelsea alongside Liverpool have started the league with 5 wins in a row and because of goal difference the Blues are top. Chelsea have played Huddersfield and Newcastle away winning 3-0 and 2-1 respectively.
Team News:
West Ham: Marko Arnatovic could be a huge miss for the Hammers. He suffered a knee problem v Everton and is a major doubt. Javier Hernandez should return after an illness last week. Jack Wilshire is still out with an ankle injury
Chelsea: Pedro has a shoulder problem and could miss this game, he is 50/50.
West Ham vs Chelsea Head to Head:
Last season this fixture ended 1-0 to West Ham.
There is a clear pattern over the last 6 games which if it continues would suggest Chelsea would win this game.
Home or away in the last 25 meetings there has only been one match that finished 0-0.
West Ham vs Chelsea Prediction:
West Ham have some blows injury wise and this could affect them for this game. Pellegrini may opt to settle for a point and a display that could see the Hammers defend for long periods against the quality of Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata. We will back both teams to score as West Ham are set to fight for this game.
These fixtures have rarely been large scores and our main bet will be to see Chelsea narrowly win the tricky fixture, which could be made easier by some key West Ham injuries.
