Chelsea vs West Ham 03.09.2022

Chelsea have had a not too impressive start to the Premier League season and they will be desperate to turn their season around before it gets out of hand. West Ham have also not fared better winning only one of their five Premier League fixtures so far.

This weekend will present both sides another chance to get more points on the board in what promises to be an exciting derby. While Chelsea have been a bit up and doing at the top end of the pitch, they have been uninspiring at the back. However, with the arrival of highly-rated young French defender, Wesley Fofana, their defensive issues could be a thing of the past.

West Ham will also be banking on Michail Antonio and summer recruit, Gianluca Scamacca both of whom could start upfront for the Hammers to deliver the goods.

While Chelsea have been underwhelming, West Ham are yet to get into their strides this season. We expect David Moyes’ men to push Chelsea, but the home side will be good enough to hold their own at home, with a couple of goals recorded.
