Preview

West Ham United suffered a poor start, losing their opener against Sunderland. David Moyes’ side lacked creativity in the final third and will rely heavily on Niclas Füllkrug and Jarrod Bowen to spark their attack. Their defense, led by Max Kilman and Nayef Aguerd, will have to deal with Chelsea’s fast-paced attackers.

Chelsea, under new manager Enzo Maresca, played out a goalless draw against Crystal Palace. Despite dominating possession, the Blues couldn’t find the breakthrough. However, the likes of Cole Palmer, Estevão, and Liam Delap looked dangerous going forward. Chelsea also have an impressive recent record against the Hammers, which gives them an edge.

The game promises to be an attacking contest, with Chelsea eager to secure their first victory of the new season, while West Ham fight to avoid back-to-back defeats.

West Ham United vs Chelsea Match Prediction

Chelsea have looked strong in terms of possession and creativity, and with attacking talents like Palmer, Estevão, and Delap, they have the firepower to break down West Ham’s defense. The Blues also enjoy a strong recent record against the Hammers, winning three in a row.

West Ham will fight with home support and rely on Füllkrug and Bowen for goals, but their defensive frailties remain a concern.
