Chelsea 2/5 to see past West Ham in the early kickoff to go six points clear at the summit

Competition: Premier League
Market: Chelsea to win against West Ham
Odds: 2/5 @ Ladbrokes

Chelsea host high-flying West Ham in the early Boxing Day kickoff, with the Blues looking to extend their lead at the top to six points with victory against their London counterparts. It won’t be easy, however, as the Hammers are currently fourth in the table near the mid-point of the campaign.

Sam Allardyce’s side have won four and drawn one of their last five Premier League games, and overall have beaten the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and Swansea to get where they are in the table. But Premier League leaders Chelsea are a difficult side to beat at the best of times, especially at Stamford Bridge.

Jose Mourinho’s men are top with 42 points after 42 games, while having won two league games on the bounce without conceding a goal. They took four points from their two meetings against West Ham without shipping a goal, and as a result Ladbrokes are giving odds of 2/5 for Chelsea to win against the Hammers this afternoon.
