West Ham host Chelsea at the London Stadium this afternoon with both sides struggling for form and in desperate need of a statement win to kick their seasons into gear. The Blues edged a tight encounter between the teams at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, though West Ham were on the end of what David Moyes described as a “scandalous” VAR decision.
The Hammers have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, earning a point against Newcastle last weekend to go with the recent win over Everton. However, they still sit 17th in the Premier League and just a point off the relegation zone.
Graham Potter’s side continue to struggle for goals, with just 22 scored in 21 League matches this season. They are 10 points off the top four, with the Chelsea boss needing to quickly find a way to integrate so many new signings.
