West Ham vs Chelsea Prediction: Betting Tips, Team News & More

West Ham and Chelsea lock horns at the London Stadium on Friday night, live at 8pm on Sky Sports Main Event.

The Hammers endured a miserable start to the new Premier League season after they lost 3-0 to new boys Sunderland, while Club World Cup champions Chelsea were perhaps fortunate to come away with a point at home to Crystal Palace.

West Ham vs Chelsea Bet Builder

In this section we have provided more information on the three selections that make up our 11/1 Bet Builder for West Ham vs Chelsea.

Jarrod Bowen Over 0.5 Shots On Target

Jarrod Bowen has netted 29 Premier League goals over the past two seasons, and while he didn’t get off the mark against Sunderland last weekend, he did threaten with a trademark driving run and effort on goal.

The West Ham skipper registered 37 shots on target (SOT) in 34 league appearances last season and has at least one SOT in 11 of his last 12 Premier League games.

Max Kilman To Be Carded

West Ham’s Max Kilman has developed a habit of finding his way into the referee’s book, picking up three yellow cards in his last seven Premier League appearances, including one against Sunderland last weekend.

With Chelsea’s fluid and versatile attack looking to bounce back from a surprisingly flat performance last weekend, Kilman could be in for a hectic afternoon in the West Ham defence, which leaked in three goals against Sunderland.

Moises Caicedo Over 3.5 Tackles

Chelsea’s 2024/25 Player of the Season was at it again last weekend, racking up five tackles, three interceptions, and completing 94% of his passes in another all-action performance in the middle of the park.

It’s the tackles market that I want to hone in on here. Caicedo made 113 tackles last season - the third-most of any Premier League midfielder - and looks well worth backing to register over 3.5 tackles against West Ham this weekend.

West Ham vs Chelsea Team News

Under pressure Graham Potter could be looking to shake things up following West Ham's 3-0 defeat to Sunderland. Crysencio Summerville could potentially return from injury for the hosts while Tomas Soucek, Callum Wilson, and Kyle Walker-Peters will be pushing for starts.

Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, and Benoit Badiashile are all doubts for Chelsea, who could also bring different players into the frame after their lacklustre display against Crystal Palace.
