Chelsea have struggled defensively having failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight league games while both teams to score have featured in eight of their last ten Premier League games. 

Their home games have been end to end open games with six of their last seven home league games seeing Over 2.5 goals while the Blues have scored 2+ goals in five of those seven league matches. 

West Ham have been inconsistent in the league this season and head into this fixture off a 1-1 draw away to Aston Villa.
