This London derby promises tension, with West Ham desperate to bounce back after a disappointing start, while Chelsea arrive with stability but need to turn dominance into wins.
West Ham vs Chelsea Prediction
The Hammers are under pressure after losing 0-3 to newly promoted Sunderland in their opener. Despite 63% possession and creating multiple chances, their finishing looked blunt and defensive lapses proved costly. Their recent form also shows inconsistency — conceding in 5 of their last 6 matches and failing to win their last 5 at home.
Chelsea, meanwhile, began with a frustrating 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace. But their defense looks rock solid, conceding just two goals in their last six outings. Boosted by their FIFA Club World Cup victory, Enzo Maresca’s side will look to regain momentum here.
Chelsea have dominated recent meetings, winning 4 of the last 6 encounters. If their attack clicks, The Blues are favorites to grab all three points.
