- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 3rd February 2025
- Kick-off: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Stamford Bridge
West Ham United will be looking to register their second win under new boss Graham Potter on Monday night when they play Chelsea at the Bridge on Monday.
Chelsea have not played since their 3:1 defeat to Manchester City five days ago. The Blues had their chances to draw if not win that game at the Etihad, but they were simply not clinical. That defeat left Enzo Maresca's side outside the top five with just one point separating them from the top four, meaning there is a chance to climb back into the Champions League places with a win if other results go their way.
Graham Potter's reign as West Ham United manager began with a 2:1 FA Cup third-round defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park. The Hammers responded well with four points from their last three Premier League matches. That run includes a 3:2 win over Fulham, but they also suffered defeat against Crystal Palace at home.
Chelsea vs West Ham United Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Chelsea will go into Saturday’s game as favorites for the three points, but they just can’t keep clean sheets at the moment, with Palmer and Co without a clean sheet in their last six league outings. All but two of those games ended with more than two goals.
Meetings between Chelsea and West Ham United are also known for being entertaining. Twelve goals were seen in the last three games alone, average four goals a game and all but one of the last four at the Bridge produced at least three goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Chelsea vs West Ham United prediction: 2-1

West Ham United team news
Konstantinos Mavropanos will be available for selection this weekend after serving his one match ban in the defeat to Crystal Palace last time out.
West Ham United have had plenty of injuries in the final third this season and things don’t seem to be getting any better.
Jarrod Bowen has missed the last five games due to a foot injury and the trip to Chelsea may come too soon for the forward.
The Hammers are set to be without the services of Niclas Füllkrug, Jean-Clair Todibo and Crysencio Summerville due to injuries.
