Chelsea vs West Ham United Matchday Stats Preview

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 17 home league games against West Ham United (W12 D4), a 1-0 defeat in November 2019 under Frank Lampard.

West Ham United are looking to record just their third ever Premier League double over Chelsea, previously doing so in 2002-03 and 2019-20.

The team scoring first in Premier League fixtures between Chelsea and West Ham has gone on to lose on 10 occasions – the only fixtures to see more defeats by the side scoring first in the competition are Southampton vs Tottenham (13), Chelsea vs Sunderland (11), and Liverpool vs Newcastle (11).

Chelsea have won just one of their last 13 Premier League matches played on Sundays (D5 L7), a 3-2 win over Brighton in December this season.

West Ham have gone 15 Premier League games without a clean sheet, last having a longer run without a shutout in the top-flight between March and November 2008 (24 games).

Five of West Ham United’s last 10 Premier League matches have seen both teams score two or more goals, including each of the last two. Overall, nine of their games have seen this occur this season, last having more in the competition in the 2015-16 campaign (11).

Michail Antonio currently has 99 goals and assists combined in the Premier League for West Ham United (67 goals, 32 assists) and could become the first ever Hammers player to get 100 involvements in the competition.
