Team News

West Ham
Chelsea
  • Having earned their first victory of the season last weekend West Ham will be sweating on the fitness of Marko Arnautovic, who was forced off at Everton with a knee injury and is a doubt as a result.
  • Andriy Yarmolenko marked his first league start for the club with a brace and will surely keep his place, with Manuel Pellegrini unlikely to change a winning side if he can avoid doing so.
  • That would mean Declan Rice keeping his place in midfield ahead of Carlos Sanchez, with Winston Reid, Jack Wilshere, Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll all still sidelined.
  • Both Pedro and Mateo Kovacic have picked up injuries since last weekend and will be assessed ahead of kick-off but may not be risked.
  • Eden Hazard was rested in midweek after all and should replace the former, while Cesc Fabregas is back fit and could make his first start of the season in midfield.
  • Elsewhere Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Olivier Giroud should return to the starting XI from Thursday's trip to Greece, replacing Davide Zappacosta, Andreas Christensen and Alvaro Morata respectively.

Prediction

  • West Ham have fared well against Chelsea in recent years, with two wins and eight goals scored apeice over the last six meetings between the two.
  • The Hammers have won three of their last four home games against their London rivals and will look to exploit any fatigue in Maurizio Sarri's ranks following a tough game in Greece on Thursday.
  • This is a real test for the early league leaders then, but with Eden Hazard well rested at least, the in-form Belgian should be the difference between the two sides.

  • Why is Eden Hazards shot in the 92:54 minut not registreted? The total amount shot has to be 18 shots and not 17 shots Watch second half for the proof (In video timeline 48:25 in second half) on replaymatches.com/2018/09/west-ham-vs-chelsea-full-match.html

  • f

  • In 92 Chelse made one more shot on target. The shots must be 18

  • Cahill should better not start against Liverpool... Christensen should.

  • @Kenzy_ Both of them should start.

  • Foram 18 chutes, foram 18!!!!!!

  • hazard dissapeared.

  • Hazard, Willian, kante all wasteful. Kovacic and jorginho aren’t linking well with kante either . Willian and hazard too selfish and too direct at times today. It surprises me Chelsea don’t use kante more in interplay to probe more patiently and wait for opening

  • @Champion- Didn't watch this game, but Hazard is shot. He needs a full fortnight's rest but with the games Chelsea have coming up, that is unlikely to happen.

  • why chelsea's shooting is 17?? one minute before hazard did shooting.. so shoot counting is 18

  • Hazard chutou ao gol nos minutos finais, totalizando 18 chutes, vocês erraram....

  • Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

  • Giroud dissapeared again.

  • @stefanm Not much service . Game was tight. Thought Kante was slightly wasteful. But Chelsea didn’t involve him in interplay hardly ever so that can’t have helped kante. I think hazard and Willian were too direct and too impatient at times today . Antonio should have scored first half. Chelsea are lucky arnautovic was out today as he would have made the difference imo

  • Chelsea win 2-0

  • West-Ham - Chelsea 1-3

  • We were all wrong today. Boring match. Good result for the opponents.

  • OVER 2.5 AND BTTS, THAT'S ALL

  • @L.Acrobat rip

  • In the recent years Chelsea had a hard time against West Ham side, but I think this is the season where Chelsea will dominate the hammers. Last year they had new manager in David Moyes, playing compact football, and Chelsea's side were playing slow football with Conte's 3-5-2, but this year West Hame play more atacking football, they have atacking minded players, and that will go into Sarri's system favour, I expect 60% possesion for Chelsea, and wining in both halves, 0-3 or 1-3

  • @igitips14 Chelsea had more than 70% possession but were lethargic and a bit slow today and so the result was a draw

  • Would be nice to see west ham pick up a win or draw here. Get the those Chelsea fans to shutup about 'sarri-ball' whatever tf that is before Liverpool punish them twice in a week.

  • @swagio Who the f*ck are Liverpool?

  • @splint3r one of the teams that finished above Chelsea last season and meant that you lost your house, remember?

  • @splint3r well if you just looked above you on the table you’d find out :)

  • @swagio There are 38 matches in a Premier League season.

  • @splint3r u need to go find out, coz when u get naai'd by a stranger its the worst case scenario...

  • @offside oh no! You were right! Sarri ball is so good and doesn’t sound cringey asf! A whole point out of West Ham. You really told me.

  • Under 2.5

  • @Cannavaro69 whats the point of playing safe odds if they still lose, come on publish the profitable stuff... This one's 1X for sure...

  • @offside @Cannavaro69 both of you got it right

  • 0-1

  • West Ham 2-3 Chelsea

  • 2-1 lucky goal for West Ham :)

  • CHELSEA EASY WIN

  • 1X her

  • 1-2

  • Chelsea will dominate the game. Westham will be lucky to walk away with something from this game. Westham 1-2 Chelsea
