Chelsea vs West Ham Prediction and Analysis: The Hammers' Bad Luck

Latest Chelsea vs West Ham team news

Manager Maresca stated that Chelsea's lineup will remain unchanged from the previous match, meaning Mykhaylo Mudryk, Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana, and Benoit Badiashile will continue to be absent. Despite making a mistake that led to a goal against Man City, and having already made five direct errors leading to goals this season, Robert Sanchez will still be Chelsea's starting goalkeeper, as manager Maresca seems to still have faith in the Spanish goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, West Ham manager Potter has good news as Jarrod Bowen has returned to training and has a good chance of playing in the upcoming London derby. Lucas Paqueta is also recovering, but needs more time. Players like Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug, and Jean-Clair Todibo remain sidelined with injuries. However, Mavropanos has completed his suspension and could return to the starting lineup, putting more competition for Aaron Cresswell in the starting XI.

Latest Chelsea vs West Ham football match prediction

After a series of poor results, Chelsea showed more consistency with two wins and two draws in January, results that helped them improve their position somewhat. The defeat against Man City showed that The Blues are still not strong enough to compete with the big teams.

Falling behind often leaves Chelsea with a lack of consistency, and they are no longer a serious contender for the title. Securing a top-seven finish is proving difficult with their current form. It seems Chelsea still needs significant changes if they have any hope of winning a title in the final stages of the season. Chelsea are also struggling with form, having won only one of their last seven Premier League matches. They often take the lead but fail to maintain it, and frequently drop points at home, highlighting the Blues' instability.

For West Ham, their previous victory was partly due to Aston Villa's instability, allowing their attack to apply constant pressure. However, they also missed some very unfortunate opportunities. West Ham will want to forget about manager Potter's previous dark period at Chelsea and look towards something new in this derby. Graham Potter has never won at Stamford Bridge while managing other teams and hopes to achieve a good result against his former club, although he will face many challenges due to his poor statistics. West Ham have a poor away record, and the head-to-head statistics also favor Chelsea, notably recent 0-3 and 0-5 defeats, making West Ham's chances of winning slim.
