Chelsea is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches, but they are coming off of a 2-0 win against Tottenham in their last match and they have been in much better form at home recently. When playing at home, they have won their last 3 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 matches there with no losses in that span. Their attack has been on fire in those matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 7 matches at home as well as scoring at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 6, scoring 8 goals in their last 2 matches there alone. Their defense has also been much better at home though as they have not allowed a goal in their last 2 matches there. They are going up against a West Ham side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 3 of their last 5 matches with no wins in that span. Their defense has also been awful in those as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches, allowing 7 goals in their last 2 matches alone. When playing away from home, they have lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches and they have been outscored 7-2 in their last 2 away matches alone. West Ham has been struggling in recent matches while Chelsea has been improving a lot as a team and have been in great form at home. West Ham has been conceding a lot of goals recently as well so their defense will not keep out this potent Chelsea attack and that is going to be the difference here as Chelsea has been much better on defense at home recently. Chelsea has also won their last 3 straight meetings at home against West Ham, only allowing 1 goal in that span. Chelsea will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here, take Chelsea -1 here.
