Chelsea Preview – Can Blues rely on home form?
In Saturday’s London derby, 10th placed Chelsea will take on West Ham at Stamford Bridge with the hosts no doubt looking to lean on their form at home to see them through this upcoming encounter against The Hammers, following recent back to back defeats on the road at Leeds United and Southampton.
Chelsea have made a mixed start to this new Premier League campaign as The Blues have won (2) and lost 2) in equal measure as well as a draw with Tottenham, and these early results have placed Chelsea in mid-table and already eight points behind the early league leaders, Arsenal.
Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, knows only too well that his side can ill afford to continue dropping points as they seek at least a top four finish this term but results at Stamford Bridge should at least be a tonic for The Blues as they have lost just two out of their last 18 matches on home soil, along with winning the previous two meetings at home on the trot against visitors, West Ham.
West Ham Preview – Can Hammers spoil the party?
West Ham earned a point in their midweek London clash against Tottenham with a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium on the back of a welcome three points by way of a 1-0 win away from home at Aston Villa in the game beforehand, meaning West Ham have now picked up four points from their last two league matches.
West Ham had begun their new Premier League campaign in disastrous fashion though as The Hammers were handed defeats in each of their opening three games, incurring losses against Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Brighton, but recent results suggest that David Moyes’ side may perhaps be turning a corner.
This upcoming short trip to Stamford Bridge will be an interesting test for West Ham then, especially as their form away from home has been dubious to say the least; the visitors have managed to capture just two wins out of their last 10 outings on the road, a poor sequence of results that also include seven defeats as well, so the east London club may have their work cut out here.
