West Ham United have had a tough run and it isn’t about to ease, as they prepare for a home game against Chelsea. The Hammers are fourth in the league standings with 24 points while Chelsea lead with 33. West Ham have no win in their last three league matches, a run that has curtailed their progress. After their 1-1 draw with Brighton on Wednesday, they may wrap up the week in fifth place as Arsenal are set to play Manchester United on Thursday. They have no clean sheet in five straight league games, though they’ve only failed to score in one of the five, which means both sides have scored in four of their last five matches. At home, they are unbeaten in the last three league games and three of the last five have produced over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea are unbeaten in 12 straight games across all competitions and will go to this game on a very strong footing. They are coming from a 2-1 win over Watford, a game in which manager Thomas Tuchel tried to rotate his squad, with Hakim Ziyech scoring the winner. Mason Mount was outstanding in the game, with an assist and a goal and he should be retained for the West Ham game. While Chelsea are favorites, this isn’t a game they’ve found easy in the recent past. Both teams have two wins in the last four meetings. Chelsea have two clean sheets in the last five league matches and both sides have scored in the remaining three. The Blues have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 league games.
