Chelsea vs West Ham Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast

The Blues won their last game against Spurs
Chelsea are slowly but surely improving under Mauricio Pochettino. The Blues are looking like a unified outfit now, with quality in the team. While the season is already a write-off, they are slowly ironing out the inconsistencies out of their game. However, the Blues are coming after a big 2-0 win against Tottenham.
Meanwhile, West Ham are increasingly looking a bit stale under David Moyes. The London outfit play well on occasions but hit drastic lows in between which have turned the fans against the Scotsman. However, they put up a spirited display and held Liverpool to a draw last week.
Kick-Off:
Sunday: 5th May 2024, 6:30 PM IST
Location: Stamford Bridge, London, UK
Form:
Chelsea (all-competitions): W-D-L-L-W
West Ham (all-competitions): D-L-D-L-L
Players to watch:
Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
There is no player that has sparkled this brightly at Chelsea since Eden Hazard. Cole Palmer has risen beyond expectations and has taken his game to the next level, managing to challenge Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot even at a mediocre team. He would once again hold all the keys to Chelsea’s attack against West Ham.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
Jarrod Bowen also has taken his game to the next level, with 16 goals and 6 assists in the league this season. The Englishman has made a serious case for himself to be included in England’s Euros squad in the summer, and his creativity would be integral if West Ham want to take away anything from Stamford Bridge in this game.
Match Facts:
- West Ham have conceded the highest number of goals of teams outside the relegation zone in the league this season.
- West Ham’s Ollie Watkins has the highest goal involvement in the Premier League this season, followed by Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.
