Betano offer: How to get 50/1 on Arsenal to beat Man City
How both teams go into West Ham vs Chelsea
The Julen Lopetegui era at West Ham has got off to a rocky start. The Hammers have won just one of their opening four league games, and sit in the bottom half of the early table. West Ham have two defeats to their name, with both coming at home. Aston Villa and Manchester City have both left the London Stadium with all three points this season. The Hammers have, at least, beat Bournemouth in the EFL Cup at home.
West Ham may also take heart from the fact that they are unbeaten in London derbies so far this season. Their sole league win of the season came against Crystal Palace while they drew with Fulham last time out.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have experienced the opposite. They much prefer life on the road under Enzo Maresca than Stamford Bridge, in the league at least. The Blues lost their opening league games against Man City at home, but they’re unbeaten since.
Away from home, Chelsea have beat Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth, the latter having played poorly. A late winner from Christopher Nkunku secured all three points. Chelsea have now won their last four away league games. In between those wins there was a draw with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge — with the Blues winless at home in the league.
West Ham host Chelsea at the London Stadium at 12:30pm on Saturday 21st September.
West Ham team news
Emerson Palmieri would be in line to face his former club, pending late checks. Niclas Fullkrug could also feature, which would give West Ham a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Chelsea team news
Enzo Fernandez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed the win over Bournemouth through illness but should be okay to feature here. Romeo Lavia could also return after injury. But Chelsea still have a problem at right-back, with Reece James and Malo Gusto out injured.
West Ham vs Chelsea head-to-head
Chelsea won their last game against West Ham, a 5-0 victory in May. However, the Blues haven’t won at the London Stadium in any of their past three visits.
