West Ham will host Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, December 4. In the midweek game, the Hammers played a 1-1 draw with Brighton, meanwhile, the Blues celebrated a 2-1 victory. West Ham are currently 4th in the league table, while Chelsea are topping the league. Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has stated his prediction on SportsKeeda.
West Ham have gone backwards ever since they got into the Premier League top four. They can’t seem to win a match now – they’ve failed to win their last three games. This is a big game for West Ham, though, and they will be tighter at the back than they were against Brighton. Chelsea got lucky against Watford this week and haven’t been at their best this week. I’d play Romelu Lukaku in this match – West Ham’s biggest threat comes from set plays and Chelsea could use a player of Lukaku’s build. Chelsea are not playing particularly well at the moment and this game could turn out to be a draw.Prediction: West Ham United 1-1 Chelsea
