West Ham vs Chelsea FC: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - preview

Jonathan Gorrie4 December 2021

West Ham host Chelsea today in a lunchtime Premier League derby at the London Stadium.

With David Moyes’ side now three games without a win following losses to both Wolves and Manchester City before Wednesday’s draw with Brighton, West Ham need to pull a result out of somewhere in order to keep their momentum going.

Some hope might arise when looking at Chelsea’s recent performances. Sluggish against Burnley, Manchester United and Watford, Thomas Tuchel’s team aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders at the moment but, dauntingly, they’re still top despite some relatively patchy form.

London’s two best teams over the past year or so, a win for either would be a statement of intent before the rest of the weekend schedule kicks off.

West Ham vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 12.30pm GMT kick-off today - Saturday December 4, 2021.

West Ham vs Chelsea prediction

Chelsea obviously haven’t been at their best but are still managing to pull results out of the bag despite that.

With Romelu Lukaku slowly getting back up to speed and West Ham’s forward floundering of late, it’s hard to look past an away victory.

Chelsea to win 1-0.
