Chelsea at West Ham 9/23/18 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Yet another London Derby is coming our way on Sunday, when West Ham will play host to Chelsea. West Ham finally recorded their first win of the season last week when they destroyed Everton. Chelsea recorded a slim away win in the Europa League and extended their winning streak to six matches in all competitions.

West Ham (1-4-0) looked really sharp in their away match against Everton last week. Summer signing Yarmolenko scored twice in the first half hour, with Arnautovic completing the 3-1 triumph at the 61st minute. West Ham really needed that win, as prior to that they had lost all four league matches. But they might be missing key forward Marko Arnautovic on this one, as he picked up an injury in that match. West Ham are now sitting at the 16th spot of the Premier League with 3 points, having scored just5 goals so far, against 11 conceded. On the other hand, Chelsea (5-0-0) rested a lot of their starters in their away match against Greek side PAOK for the Europa League. Willian scored the only goal of the match at just the 7th minute, as Chelsea easily held on to the result. But they saw forward Pedro limp off with an injury and his status is uncertain. Last week, Chelsea conceded the first goal against Cardiff at home but destroyed them by 1-4. They are now leading the Premier League with 15 points, having scored 14 goals so far, against just 4 conceded.

West Ham defeated Chelsea by a slim 0-1 in this venue last season, before splitting the points in a 1-1 draw on the road. They have been quite competitive as hosts against Chelsea in recent years (4-4-1 in all competitions). Chelsea would love to extend their winning streak here, but West Ham will be looking for more points after their first win.
