Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for West Ham V Chelsea match

Chelsea continues its top three push with a visit to London rivals West Ham United at the London Stadium on Wednesday. The hosts remain above the relegation zone on goal differential alone and are in urgent need of points. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has made his prediction for the game. "I think David Moyes will do what he has done recently and West Ham will sit in, asking where will Chelsea hurt them? That will be on the counter. It will be a bit like the Wolves game, where they did nick a couple of opportunities and frustrated them in periods," said Nicholas. "Pablo Fornals missed a glorious opportunity in both of those matches at 0-0, so chances can crop up. If they do go after it, they could get picked off by Chelsea. West Ham will sit tight and try to frustrate them. "Michail Antonio will be important as will set-pieces for West Ham, and Chelsea can give chances away. I think they will get something from it, but they will not be adventurous. Jarrod Bowen is a handful and should have scored against Tottenham. Mark Noble and Declan Rice will sit and allow Aaron Cresswell and Ryan Fredericks to get forward. They could get something from those areas, but it will be a good point for West Ham." Nicholas thinks that the game will end with a 1-1 draw. Source: Sky Sports
