Chelsea vs West Ham Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League matchday 24 will draw its curtain with a London Derby as Chelsea takes on West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Monday night. Can struggling Blues get back on track, or will Graham Potter get a sensational victory on his return to the Blues soil?
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea after a brilliant start are currently struggling with form in the Premier League, as Enzo Maresca’s men have only registered one league win in the last seven Premier League games. Last weekend, the Blues lost 3-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a game in which they took an early lead and failed to convert their open chances. Enzo Maresca will now be desperate for his side to get back on track as they have slipped away from the top four. They currently sit 6th in the Premier League standings with 40 points, just a point behind the top four.
A return to Stamford Bridge in this week’s game will provide them with huge confidence in returning to winning ways. Enzon Maresca’s men have been solid on their home soil, having lost just once in their last 16 home games across all competitions, winning 11 and playing four draws. Their defensive backline has looked vulnerable, having conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 11 home matches while scoring in 10 of the games.
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham manager Graham Potter will make the return to Stamford Bridge on the back of only one win in the last six matches across all competitions, losing four and playing a draw. Last weekend, Graham Potter’s men extended their winless streak in the league to two games by playing a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park. The Hammers’s backline, under the guidance of Graham Potter, has continued to look vulnerable, conceding seven goals in his first four games across all competitions. Currently, Graham Potter’s men sit 14th in the league standings with 27 points, 11 points above the drop zone.
The Hammers have struggled with their away games, as they are winless in the last two league matches and have only recorded one win in the last five league matches. Their backline conceded a goal in four of their last five away matches while scoring a goal in each of the games. The last time the two teams met in the first half of the season at the London Stadium, Nicolas Jackson scored a brace in the match, leading Chelsea to a 3-0 victory.
