Chelsea arrive with superior squad depth, attacking options, and defensive structure. West Ham’s recent wins show fight, but Stamford Bridge remains a difficult venue — especially for teams under relegation pressure.

- West Ham have scored just 13 goals all season
- Chelsea possess far greater midfield control and creativity
Predicted Result
Chelsea 2–1 West Ham United
Chelsea should dominate possession and create enough chances to secure all three points, though West Ham may find a way onto the scoresheet.
