Chelsea vs West Ham United Preview
Chelsea have not had a very good season at all and last weekend it got even worse. Things started well for them against Tottenham as Alvaro Morata opened the scoring, but The Blues went on to lose 3-1 at home. The defensive issues came to the fore and have left the defending champions in a poor league position.
In terms of the team news, Thibaut Courtois has been missing due to injury so Willy Caballero may continue in goal for Chelsea. David Luiz and Ethan Ampadu are out injured while Ross Barkley has a lack of fitness.
West Ham United had a very good weekend last time out, beating relegation rivals Southampton 3-0 at the London Stadium. This has put them in a strong position to secure Premier League survival and David Moyes will be happy to avoid a second personal relegation in a row.
There are quite a few players missing for The Hammers through injury. Pedro Obiang, Winston Reid, Sam Byram and Andy Carroll are all out. James Collins and Manuel Lanzini are doubtful, and both players would be a big miss if they can’t play.

Chelsea vs West Ham United Prediction
Looking at the Premier League table, Chelsea really need to pick up the three points if they are to have any chance of qualifying for the Champions League. They currently sit 8 points behind Spurs in 4th place and it’s looking like it will be Europa League football next season.
West Ham are 5 points clear of the relegation zone with 7 matches left of the season to play. With the poor form of West Brom, Stoke City and Southampton, The Hammers are now likely to stay in the top division.
Even though they are not in the best form, Chelsea are still the favourites for this one. The tip is for Chelsea to claim the three points with a 2-0 Correct Score.
