Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Sunday lunchtime sees a London clash between West Ham and Chelsea at the London Stadium with more betting tips available for our readers in the Premier League…
West Ham’s horrific start to the new top flight season was halted in last weekend’s highly unexpected 3-1 win away at Everton at Goodison Park, so they’ll come into this difficult looking encounter with a much-needed boost of confidence as they prepare for the visit of high-flying Chelsea.
The Hammers had previously lost all of their four matches of the season with defeats to Liverpool, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Wolves with perhaps the most worrying aspects being just two goals scored and their terrible defensive mistakes.
However, their win at Everton will give renewed hope of a revival under their under-fire manager, Pellegrini. West Ham have managed just one win from their last six matches at London Stadium.
Chelsea have made an impressive start to their new Premier League campaign under their new Italian manager Maurizio Sarri as they still possess a 100% winning record to start the new season off in style.
While the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City are grabbing the headlines, Chelsea have quietly but efficiently set about their business by recording five wins on the trot with victories over Huddersfield Town, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Cardiff City.
Ominously, Chelsea have also produced free-scoring displays this season too as they’ve plundered 14 goals in their 5 league matches to date, as well as securing a vital 1-0 win away at PAOK in the Europa League during the week.
Perhaps the key ahead of this match though is that Eden Hazard was rested during the week and returns for this encounter in the nation’s capital.
Chelsea possess far superior quality in all areas of the pitch and my betting tips expect The Blues to grab the points here.
