West Ham has far fewer injuries. Aguerd is on the injury list, but he is not a key player in the starting lineup. However, Mavropanos may recover in time for the upcoming match.

Team Reviews

Chelsea is underperforming this season, occupying a mid-table position. Only Palmer justifies his price tag, being involved in goal-scoring actions in almost every match. Thanks to him, the team has scored more than 1.5 goals in 8 out of their last 9 Premier League matches. Betting on Chelsea Total goals Over (1.5) is valued at 1.47.

West Ham has a leaky defense. In their last three matches, they have conceded nine goals but also scored four. They failed to score only against Fulham. However, in 9 out of their last 10 matches, West Ham has not left the field without scoring a goal. Betting on West Ham Total goals Over (0.5) is valued at 1.34.

Editor's Prediction

The game could go either way. Chelsea has shown glimpses of solid defensive play recently, such as keeping a clean sheet against Tottenham. Additionally, less than 3.5 total goals have been scored in 11 out of the last 12 head-to-head matches between these teams at Chelsea's ground. Therefore, let's go with Total goals under (3.5) at 1.94.
