Chelsea will face off against their London rivals, West Ham United, in their second game of the ongoing Premier League season on Sunday, August 20 at the London Stadium. After the first game, Chelsea are 11th, while the Hammers are 13th in the Premier League 2023-24 standings.
The blockbuster match between Chelsea and Liverpool in the capital last weekend was preceded by off-field tension after the Blues snatched Moises Caicedo from Jurgen Klopp and co. and persuaded Romeo Lavia to choose Stamford Bridge over Anfield. The game ended 1-1 but Mauricio Pochettino’s side dominated the game, with the Chelsea goal coming from debutant Axel Disasi. Chelsea will look to push on from their positive start and get their first win of the season.
Across the city, West Ham’s last game also finished with a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, with a 51st-minute Jarrod Bowen effort putting David Moyes’s side ahead, but Dominic Solanke equalizing for Bournemouth in the 82nd minute. Since losing to Brentford 2-0 in December, West Ham has scored in all of their competitive home games and will look to surprise this injury-affected Chelsea side.
Head-to-Head:
- In 106 matches played between these historical sides, Chelsea won 47 while the Hammers won 37, and 22 have been drawn.
- West Ham have lost only one of their last six home games against Chelsea.
