THE PREDICTION

Only a single point separates these two London based clubs, with Chelsea sitting on 22 whilst West Ham have 21. Chelsea will be desperate not to fall victim to three straight league defeats whilst a win for West Ham will see them leapfrog their London rivals as they make it seven wins this season. It will be a tough game for both sides and could go either way. A draw is a very strong possibility with not much separating these two sides, or perhaps avoid the betting markets on this one altogether.
