West Ham v Chelsea – Friday, 8pm

Punters can bet on West Ham v Chelsea with William Hill

• There’s a lot of people that believe that West Ham could be in danger this season and that’s easy to understand especially after their trip to Sunderland, with the Hammers on the end of a 3-0 defeat to the newly-promoted side, with questions already being asked from the West Ham faithful.
• Those West Ham fans aren’t shy of showing their emotions and i think we’ll hear that on Friday evening if Graham Potter’s side don’t put together a much better performance here against their London rivals, which seems unlikely given they’ve won just one of their last eight Premier League home games.
• Despite winning four of their last five games on a Friday evening, the Irons have beat Chelsea in just one of their last seven meetings, with their last victory coming here back in August 2023.
  ——————————–
• Once again, Chelsea have spent a lot of money during this summer transfer window and the majority has been spent on attacking players, which is why their goalless draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon was quite surprising, with only three of their nineteen attempts on goal hitting the target.
• Chelsea themselves will be looking for an improved performance and especially on this ground, after winning just two of their last eight visits here in all competitions, although they did win convincingly here back in September 2024 (3-0).
• There’s definitely room for improvement for both sides following their opening Premier League fixture of this campaign, i don’t think it’ll be straight forward for Chelsea but with the pressure all on West Ham here, i think the Blues will get the job done.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Chelsea To Win, West Ham 1-3 Chelsea.
