Form Guides
Chelsea Form Guide
As we gear toward the business end of the season, Chelsea are fighting on multiple fronts for trophies. In the Premier League, they’re sat in fifth place following back-to-back league wins, one point off Man United. In the FA Cup, they’re into the fifth round the Champions League, they’re into the Round of 16 after their sixth-place league phase finish. They also have their EFL Cup semi-final second leg to contend with next week, though they have a 2-3 deficit to overturn against Arsenal .
Despite competing on multiple fronts, change is never too far away at The Bridge following the departure of Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day. It’s been a strong start from former Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior, winning five of his first six games in charge, including both league matches. Ahead of this game, only three English managers have ever won their first three Premier League games: Bobby Gould in August 1992, Sam Allardyce in August 2001 and Craig Shakespeare (first 5) in April 2017.
Victory at the weekend for The Blues would mean they leapfrog Man United while also going within six points of Man City in second place before their game on Sunday against Tottenham .

West Ham United Form Guide
West Ham United have looked like they’ve turned a corner in recent weeks with their 3-1-win over Sunderland last weekend, making it back-to-back league successes and three consecutive wins in all competitions. A notable feature of those three wins has been the variety in the goalscorers of the seven scored; there have been five unique scorers: Crysencio Summerville (3), Jarrod Bowen , Mateus Fernandes , Callum Wilson and Valentín Castellanos, all scoring one each.
Ahead of Saturday's big game, Nuno Espírito Santo in his pre-match press conference has said that there’s no serious injuries in the squad and has praised new signing Adama Traoré saying he knows him well from past work, called him "unique" for his one-v-one ability, pace, threat, energy on/off pitch, and great personality in the dressing room/training though he has yet to decide if he will feature against Chelsea .
West Ham United have found their feet in front of goal recently, scoring in five of their last six games across all competitions. That form has contributed to their league record of twenty-seven scored, which is more than Wolves , Nottingham Forest , Sunderland , Crystal Palace , Everton and Burnley .

Key Players To Watch
Key Players To Watch
Pedro Neto - Chelsea
The Portuguese International has 7 goals and 4 assists across 34 games in all-competitions this season, with 5 of those goals and 3 of those assists coming in his 23 Premier League games. Though he’s yet to earn a goal contribution under Rosenior, which has led to fan backlash, his talents remain unquestionable. His explosive acceleration, direct dribbling and two-footedness will be fascinating to watch come the weekend, given the recent level of scrutiny.
Pablo Felipe - West Ham United
Pablo Felipe (22) arrived earlier this month from Gil Vicente F.C . following a prolific start to the season, where he scored ten times and assisted once in his thirteen league games. He is a throwback attacker who shows exceptional target man qualities, with his physical attributes, link-up play and finishing ability. While he’s waiting for his first goal or assist with West Ham United, a player of his ability just needs one, and they’ll start to flow.
Chelsea v West Ham United Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 West Ham United
Chelsea came out on the right end of a 2-3 thriller with Napoli midweek in the Champions League, though it’ll be interesting to see how much they rotate given the depth in their squad.
West Ham United are also in strong form and should be the fresher of the two parties having had no midweek commitments.
There hasn't been a draw between both sides in their last five games, but I can see one on the cards this weekend, given both are in strong form.
