The 2022/23 English Premier League season continues this weekend include the meeting between Chelsea and West Ham United on the 3rd of September.
The game will be played at Stamford Bridge and the hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 7 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 4 points.
Chelsea come into the match on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Southampton. The Blues started the game well and opened the scoring after 23 minutes.
However, it did not take long for Southampton to get back into the game and they equalised 5 minutes later before taking the lead on the stroke of half time. Chelsea did not get going in the second half and Southampton held on to take all 3 points.
That result means Chelsea have won only 1 of their 4 most recent Premier League fixtures. The win came at home over Leicester City and was a good victory considering Chelsea were reduced to 10 men after only 28 minutes.
However, there have been defeats against Leeds United and Southampton away plus a 2-2 draw at home with Tottenham Hotspur.
Trends show Chelsea are undefeated in their last 6 home Premier League games. They have won 3 of those 6 matches and have seen both teams score in each of their 5 most recent league games on home soil.
West Ham Unitedff make the short journey to Stamford Bridge having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
It was the away team who opened the scoring in the 34th minute but West Ham United improved in the second half and scored the equaliser 10 minutes after the interval.
That result means West Ham United are undefeated in their last 3 games in all competition. The Hammers beat Viborg 3-0 away in the Europa Conference League playoffs and Aston Villa 1-0 away in the Premier League.
David Moyes will hope things are beginning to pick up for his team having made a slow start to the season. West Ham United have recorded only 1 victory from their 5 Premier League fixtures, with defeats coming against Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton.
Trends show West Ham United have lost 7 of their last 10 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Chelsea will be without the injured duo of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ngolo Kante. It is unclear if new signings, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be involved.
West Ham United are expected to be without Benjamin Johnson and Craig Dawson due to injury. They also have doubts over the fitness of Gianluca Scamacca and Nayef Aguerd.
Even at this early stage of the season, a defeat for either team here could leave them well adrift of the leaders. Chelsea need to improve on their performance at Southampton and with West Ham United having such a poor recent away record, could come out on top, with both teams scoring.
