London derbies have brought no shortage of drama in the early weeks of the 2022/23 Premier League season and Chelsea v West Ham on Saturday should be no different.
There are plenty of similarities to be drawn between the two sides this term. Neither has enjoyed an ideal start to the new campaign but both have made some exciting moves in the transfer market as their respective managers look to add a bit more quality.
Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton in midweek was evidence of the issues that Thomas Tuchel still has to sort out while the Hammers have struggled in the final third domestically despite the arrivals of summer signings Maxwel Cornet, Lucas Paquetá, and Gianluca Scamacca.
David Moyes’ side beat the Blues at home last season but will be hoping for a first win at Stamford Bridge since 2019.
If Saturday’s game is anything like the last London derby at the stadium, we could be in for a tasty afternoon.

Our prediction: Chelsea v West Ham
As inconsistent as Chelsea have been on the road, at Stamford Bridge their performances have been impressive so far this term and they’ll fancy themselves to claim a second home victory on Saturday.
Neither side has been at their best in 2022/23 and things are likely to be a bit spiky in this London derby, which may mean some hard challenges from the off and, hopefully, plenty of chances.
Back on home turf after a frustrating defeat in the week, the Blues will be determined to bounce back with a victory.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 West Ham (17/2 at bet365)
