Chelsea vs West Ham Preview

Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side will be looking to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat to Man City when they host West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

Form

Chelsea have been in poor form coming into this fixture as they have won just two of their last eight games in all competitions with the 3-1 defeat to Man City being their third defeat in their last six Premier League games. 

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. 

They have won just three of their last ten Premier League games as they have struggled both in attack and defence. 

The Hammers have conceded in five straight Premier League matches with just one clean sheet kept in their last eleven league games. 

They have also conceded 2+ goals in four of their last five Premier League matches while both teams to score have featured in seven of their last ten away league games. 

Verdict

Five of the last seven head to head Premier League games between both teams have seen Over 2.5 goals scored and with both teams struggling in defence, I'll be following the trend with Over 2.5 goals backed.
