Match Preview

Enzo Maresca will be hoping that his Chelsea side are back on track after returning to winning ways after claiming maximum points at Bournemouth last Saturday. However, a more impressive performance will be required at the London Stadium, as they were fortunate to gain maximum points at the Vitality Stadium in their previous outing.

West Ham are yet to hit top gear in the Premier League this term, winning just once in their opening four matches. The Hammers come into this round after salvaging a point in their previous outing, meaning that they have now gone two without a win in the English top-flight.

Chelsea’s overall record in this fixture deserves plenty of respect. The Blues have won 30 of their last 56 Premier League meetings against West Ham. That record means that Chelsea have only recorded more victories against Tottenham in Premier League history. The Hammers also come into this showdown after losing each of their two matches at the London Stadium this term.

Meanwhile, the Blues have been strong on the road across the last two seasons, winning each of their last four. Chelsea haven’t won five on the bounce away from home since December 2021. A concerning stat will be the fact that only Wolves and Everton of the 17 ever-present teams in the Premier League in 2024 have collected fewer points than West Ham in this calendar year.
