    West Ham and Chelsea Search for First Win of the Season

    We have two fixtures to watch in the English Premier League on the 20th of August, including the meeting between West Ham and Chelsea.

    The game will be played at the London Stadium and the hosts are currently 13th in the table on 1 point while the visitors are 11th in the league, also on 1 point.

    West Ham come into the match having been held to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.

    With the score 0-0 at half time, the Hammers took the lead in the 51st minute and looked on course to take maximum points.

    However, Bournemouth scored the equaliser with 9 minutes remaining on the clock to claim a point.

    The draw at Bournemouth means West Ham have won 1 of their 4 most recent fixtures in the Premier League.

    They beat relegated Leeds United 3-1 at home last season but tasted defeat against Brentford and Leicester City away.

    Home form in the Premier League shows West Ham have won their 2 most recent games. In addition to the win over Leeds United, West Ham beat Manchester United 1-0.

    Trends show West Ham have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 10 home Premier League matches but have kept just a single clean sheet from their last 5 league games on home soil.

    Chelsea make the short trip to the London Stadium on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Liverpool last weekend in the Premier League.

    Liverpool opened the scoring in the 18th minute but it did not take long for Chelsea to score the equaliser and they found the back of the net 19 minutes later. There we no goals scored in the second half.

    The draw with Liverpool means Chelsea have failed to win any of their last 5 Premier League fixtures.

    In fact, they have recorded only 1 win from their 13 most recent Premier League games and were extremely disappointing for much of last season.

    Away form in the Premier League shows Chelsea have won 2 of their last 14 matches.

    They have lost 4 of their last 5 on the road in the league, with the defeats coming at Wolves, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United.

    However, Chelsea are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 encounters with West Ham in Premier League.

    Team news and West Ham have no injury or suspension concerns ahead of this game. Edson Álvarez and James Ward-Prowse could both make their debut.

    Cheslea are without Trevoh Chalobah, Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana, Benoît Badiashile, and Armando Broja due to injury. There are doubts over the fitness of new signing Moisés Caicedo.

    We expect to see goals in this game and for both teams to find the back of the net. Chelsea will be hoping to improve in the Premier League this season but may be forced to settle for a draw in this match.
