Chelsea will be aiming to continue their strong form as they face West Ham United in a Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. Chelsea, coming off a successful midweek Champions League match, will look to keep their momentum going when they host a West Ham side that appears to be finding their stride under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Chelsea’s recent form has been impressive, with Liam Rosenior’s team winning five out of their last six matches across all competitions. Their most recent success came in the Champions League, where they came from behind to secure a 3-2 victory over Napoli, thanks to two second-half goals from Joao Pedro. This win secured Chelsea’s place in the Champions League knockout stages.
Under Rosenior, Chelsea have already claimed two big Premier League victories, first defeating Brentford 2-0 at home and then securing a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace away from home. These results have lifted Chelsea to fifth place in the table, just one point behind Manchester United in fourth. With these recent performances, Chelsea are in good form and will be hopeful of continuing their winning streak.
Historically, Chelsea have had a strong record against West Ham, winning their last four encounters in the Premier League by a combined score of 15-2. Chelsea have also scored 109 goals in 59 Premier League matches against West Ham, making them one of Chelsea’s most frequent targets. The Blues have been dominant in this fixture, and they will be confident of extending this run, especially given their current form.
On the other hand, West Ham have been on the up under Nuno Espirito Santo after a tough spell without a win. The Hammers have now won three straight matches, including victories in the FA Cup over Queens Park Rangers and two important Premier League wins against Tottenham and Sunderland. In their 3-1 win against Sunderland last weekend, goals from Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen, and Mateus Fernandes helped secure the three points.
Despite this improvement, West Ham are still in a difficult position in the Premier League, sitting 18th and five points from safety. With 15 games remaining, Nuno’s side still has time to climb out of the relegation zone, but they must continue their good form. The Hammers’ recent winning streak has been a bright spot, but they face a tough challenge against Chelsea, who have historically dominated this fixture.
West Ham’s away form at Stamford Bridge has been poor, with just one win in their last 19 Premier League visits to Chelsea. The Hammers have also lost their last five matches at Stamford Bridge, with their last victory at Chelsea coming in November 2019.
