West Ham vs Chelsea Tips
Tip 1
Noni Madueke’s newly-adopted shoot on sight approach makes this a particularly appealing bet.
The 22-year-old forward has let off 12 shots in his three Premier League appearances so far, meeting this line in every single one having recorded totals of 6, 3, 3.
His chances are further bolstered by the potential absence of left-back Emerson, which could see Madueke have another field day down Chelsea’s right-hand side.
Tip 2
The unrest surrounding two fresh managers and the promise of a typically high-scoring fixture based on recent years means there should be no surprise if we see an abundance of action at both ends on Saturday.
Cole Palmer is level with Bukayo Saka at the top of the Premier League assists chart standings this season, with the pair each having registered four in as many matches.
The former City academy graduate has provided an assist in two of his four league matches – an impressive follow-up to the 15 he managed in his debut season at the club.
His tally averages out at a very healthy 0.47 assists per 90 since joining Chelsea, and there’s scope for plenty more given that he’s produced 22 shot-creating actions and six goal-creating actions already this term.
West Ham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
It’s been a real mixed bag for Julen Lopetegui in East London so far, whose side lost to Aston Villa on the opening day, bounced back with two consecutive wins before then losing to the reigning champions and playing out a stalemate with West Londoners Fulham.
Emersen and Niclas Fullkrug are both doubtful for Chelsea’s visit on Saturday lunchtime.
West Ham Predicted XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Coufal; Rodriguez, Alvarez; Kudus, Paqueta, Summerville; Bowen.
Chelsea Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Enzo Maresca is still finding his feet as the latest head coach at Stamford Bridge, most recently navigating a 1-0 win over Bournemouth on the south coast in response to a score-draw with Palace prior to the international break.
The Blues have as many as five absentees for the trip across the city, with Enzo Fernandez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Romeo Lavia joining defenders Reece James and Malo Gusto on the injury table.
Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; Disasi, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
West Ham vs Chelsea Head-To-Head Record
