Chelsea vs West Ham Tips

Tip 1

West Ham’s lack of attacking options could see Potter flood his midfield and/or promote one of Paqueta or Kudus to spearhead the attack if Bowen is not to be risked.

Paqueta has had 33 shots this term, hitting this line eight times – with a good portion of his appearances coming within a double pivot for the Hammers.

Since being advanced into an inside forward, Paqueta has been successful with this particular bet in three of his last four and in five of the last seven.

Tip 2

West Ham’s anchoring Czechian has amassed seven yellows during this campaign, with three of those being brandished in the last five games.

Four of his current total have come in away matches, and the defensive midfielder was also carded in West Ham’s 3-0 defeat to Chelsea back in September.

Soucek has committed 2+ fouls in each of his last six outings and given Potter’s emphasis on pressing, this bet holds slight value at the current odds.

Chelsea Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Blues have only win from their last seven matches – excluding the 5-0 FA Cup win over Morecambe – which Enzo Maresca will want to rectify against Chelsea’s former boss on Monday night.

There are no changes to Chelsea’s player availability from the 3-1 defeat to Man City last weekend, with Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia and Mykhalo Mudryk all absent.

Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.

West Ham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Irons earned a 1-1 away draw with Aston Villa last time out, making it one win, two defeats and a draw from Graham Potter’s first four matches in charge of the East London club.

The visitors may be boosted by the return of Jarrod Bowen for this London derby after the forward was revealed to have been involved in training over the past few days. Lucas Paqueta could also feature, however, Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Jean-Clair Todibo will all miss out.

West Ham Predicted XI: Areola; Coufal, Kilman, Mavropanos; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Alvarez, Emerson; Paqueta, Kudus; Bowen.
