There will be fireworks when West Ham United and Chelsea square off against each other in the London derby on Saturday. The Hammers showed character in a 1-1 draw with Fulham, with substitute Danny Ings scoring a late equalizer and, no doubt, that goal gave them a confidence boost. Lucas Paqueta is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Emerson should recover in time to face the Blues. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug is a major doubt. 

Enzo Maresca’s men, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bournemouth. Given Chelsea’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Christopher Nkunku should be recalled to the starting eleven after scoring a late winner at Vitality Stadium, while all Malo Gusto, Reece James, and Romeo Lavia remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Score Prediction: West Ham 2 – 2 Chelsea
