WInless in three Premier League games, West Ham United will host league leaders Chelsea on Saturday for a London derby showdown.
The Hammers have lost two of their last four league London derbies (W1 D1), as many as they had in their previous 10 such games (W4 D4).
However, they won their last derby match in the competition against Spurs, last winning consecutive meetings with London clubs in January 2019 (a run of three).
West Ham have won three of their last six home Premier League games against Chelsea (D1 L2) and another win is valued at (4.45) with BlackBet.
A win for Chelsea at the London Stadium is tipped to occur at (1.79).
A draw between the London rivals is considered to happen at (3.75).
David Moyes will be hopeful Aaron Cresswell will be fit in time for the encounter while Angelo Ogbonna will be unavailable due to a knee injury.
Chelsea's Reece James is available after missing their game against Watford but N'Golo Kante is ruled out by a knee issue.
With five goals and five assists, Michail Antonio has been directly involved in 10 goals in his last 10 league London derby appearances. Antonio is the only West Ham player in Premier League history to register double figures for both goals (11) and assists (10) in London derby matches.Chelsea have made 50 changes to their starting XI in the Premier League this season, the most by a side after 14 matches of a season since Manchester United in 2009-10 (also 14 games); the only team to make 50 earlier into a season was Manchester United again in the 2001-02 season (12th game).Thomas Tuchel has won eight of his nine Premier League London derby matches (L1), with the Blues scoring 17 and conceding just twice in these games. In English top-flight history, the German has the best win rate in such games among managers to take charge of more than one (89%).
Against no side has Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku scored more Premier League goals than he has against West Ham (nine). He could become the seventh player to net double figures against the Hammers in the Premier League, which would be the most for opposing players to score, 10+ against a side in the competition.
West Ham United have scored seven goals in their last five games across all competitions where they conceded six in the process and kept just a clean sheet. Chelsea have scored 11, conceded three and kept two clean sheets in the same number of games.
