A stern test awaits Chelsea on Saturday in the form of fellow Champions League hopefuls West Ham United as both London outfits face off in a crunch tie to determine their top-four plans for the campaign.
The Blues had most recently stepped out on the pitch in a frustrating goalless stalemate at Stamford Bridge against Brighton with Graham Potter’s men putting out an inspired showing to secure a point from their travels to west London.

WEST HAM UNITED VS CHELSEA BETTING TIPS
SAFE BETS
Both Chelsea and West Ham possess prolific attacking departments and would be expected to find the back of the net meaning that a scoring affair could be on the cards come Saturday at the London Stadium. Thus betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.85 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Either side are tipped to earn their fair share of corner kicks over the course of the weekend clash in the capital city but do not expect the total number to go beyond 10. Thus betting on the game to have less than 10 corners at odds of 2.00 (bet 365 ) is a really good bet to make.
QUICK RICH
The game is backed to get off to an exciting start as the teams engage in a close contest to seal the win and make major progress towards the top-four spot. Thus betting on goals to be scored between the 1-15 minute mark at odds of 3.20 (betway) is a really good bet.
Chelsea would be hopeful of returning to winning ways in domestic league action and Thomas Tuchel’s side are backed to start the first-half on a high. Thus betting on the scoreline to end 0-1 in favour of Chelsea at half-time at odds of 3.75 (betway) is a really good bet.
WIN/LOSE/DRAW
Chelsea head into the upcoming game on the back of a disappointing draw against Brighton while West Ham were handed a shock 3-2 defeat by Newcastle United last time around. Despite both teams vying for an important win, the game could very well end up in a draw. We expect Chelsea to salvage another stalemate on Saturday in a 1-1 scoreline at odds of 8.00. (bet365)
BET DURING THE MATCH
Callum Hudson-Odoi is in line to grab a starting role with Tuchel expected to tinker around with his options up top on the pitch. Should the England starlet be handed a start, betting on him to find the back of the net at odds of 5.50 (bet365) is a good bet to make during the match.
