Chelsea will be hoping to secure much-needed victory when they take on London rivals West Ham United in today’s (Saturday) Premier League fixture at the London Stadium.
The two sides have locked horns 119 times before, with the Blues having come out on top in 56 of those encounters.
This season, West Ham United are looking to build on their previous European campaigns as David Moyes has guided his side into the UEFA Europa Conference League.
But in the Premier League, there hasn’t been any consistency for the Hammers and they currently sit just above the drop zone.
On the other hand, inconsistency is something Chelsea have had to grapple with all season under Graham Potter who replaced former manager Thomas Tuchel near the start of this campaign.
Despite large financial investments by owner Todd Boehly, positive results have failed to follow suit and the Blues lie ninth in the table standings at present.
Their last result was a goalless draw against Fulham and going into Saturday’s game, Chelsea are currently unbeaten in their last three Premier League games.
When these two sides met earlier this season at Stamford Bridge, Kai Havertz’s 84th-minute strike secured a 2-1 win for Chelsea over West Ham United.
