Chelsea 1/2 to beat West Ham in Saturday’s Premier League clash

Competition: Premier League

Market: Chelsea to beat West Ham

Odds: 1/2 @ Bet365

The Premier League returns this weekend for another round of huge matches. Last weekend saw a number of surprising results, with those at the top and bottom of the table dropping points. One contest that will be hugely intriguing is Chelsea’s visit to West Ham, with the London derby coming at the worst time for the hosts, and the best time for the visitors.

For West Ham, this season is turning into something of a nightmare. In their last five games they have only managed to secure one point, drawing once and losing their other four games. 13 goals scored and 32 conceded is a very poor record, and they are in need of goals and solidity at the back if they are to get out of the mess that they have found themselves in. They are currently three points short of West Bromwich Albion in 17th and safety, meaning three points in their next game is vital.

For Chelsea, this is another game to try to cut the gap between themselves and Manchester City. After 15 games they have accrued 32 points, meaning they are nine short of City at the top. 28 goals scored and 12 conceded is a good return, while they have won four and drawn one of their last five games. The contrasting form of the two sides suggests there will only be one winner on Saturday, and we are backing Chelsea with odds of 1/2 @ Bet365.
