Chelsea vs West Ham Match Preview and Team News
Chelsea
The Blues were being heralded as contenders in this season’s title race, but back-to-back defeats at Everton and Wolves have led to them dropping out of the top four. Olivier Giroud was given another warning by France coach Didier Deschamps this month, who said the striker’s lack of game-time might affect his chances of making the European Championship squad. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard gave Giroud his opportunity in the Champions League against Sevilla, and Giroud scored all four goals in that clash before netting against Leeds United and Wolves. He appears to have played his way into the position of the first-choice striker for his club at least, and there is every chance he can continue his fine scoring run against a West Ham side who have conceded six goals in their last four matches in the Premier League. Mason Mount plays fantastic and creates a lot of problems for the opponent’s defense. Many teams are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. Callum Hudson-Odoi is a tremendous player, and in the one-on-one game, he is unstoppable.
West Ham
David Moyes’ West Ham was being mentioned as candidates for relegation in the summer, but they have silenced their critics so far. The Irons have secured 21 points from 13 matches – a form that has taken them to within a touching distance of the top four. They will make the short trip across London with no fear, having lost just one of their last six games in the top flight. Moyes’ side is well organized, with their flair players allowed to flourish in front of a solid base. West Ham has won their last two on the road, while their record against Chelsea also makes for pretty reading. The Hammers have lost only one of their previous six league matches at Stamford Bridge and completed a double over their rivals last season, winning 3-2 at home and 1-0 away. West Ham’s desire may have been questioned in the past, but their current crop has shown tremendous spirit under Moyes. They are certainly playing for the manager during his second stint at West Ham, which has been reflected in their results. Jarrod Bowen is also a tremendous player, and in the one-on-one game, he is unstoppable. Much is expected of this guy this season, and he is the future of English football. Sebastien Haller scored seven goals last season, he came from Frankfurt as a great reinforcement, and a lot is expected of him, and he enters the chances easily.
