With London bragging rights up for grabs on Monday night, Chelsea will welcome West Ham to Stamford Bridge for what could be a fiery affair.
With their sights now firmly set on finding a route back into the Champions League spots, Enzo Maresca’s side will also be looking to claim just a second top-flight victory since the middle of December.
While West Ham might have only left Aston Villa with a point to show for their troubles last weekend, the Hammers have shown some real signs of improvements since former Chelsea boss Graham Potter arrived in east London.
As all eyes fall on Stamford Bridge on Monday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most eye-catching Chelsea vs West Ham bet builder tips.
Chelsea looking to skyrocket their way back into the top-four
While Chelsea might have enjoyed a sensational start following Maresca’s arrival in west London last summer, it is no secret that Monday’s hosts are seeking some recent stability.
Currently sat outside the Champions League spots, Chelsea have recorded just a single victory from any of their previous seven top-flight appearances – a run that stems all the way back to December 12th.
Nevertheless, despite showing some extended defensive issues, the Blues will certainly be excited by a dominant record against their London rivals.
Storming their way to a routine 3-0 romp when they travelled to West Ham for their reverse Premier League meeting on September 21st, they have won their last two top-flight showdowns by an aggregate score of 8-0.
It should also be noted, Chelsea have ed 14 points from their previous six Premier League matchups against the Hammers.

Palmer looking to extend on his Premier League romp
If Chelsea are to secure just a second Premier League victory of 2025, then there is no doubt that Maresca’s attacking talisman will have a leading role to play at Stamford Bridge.
While Cole Palmer might have only arrived in west London back in the summer of 2023, the former Manchester City starlet has quickly cemented his spot as Chelsea’s poster boy.
Once again continuing to shatter a string of records this season, the England international will certainly be pivotal in Chelsea’s charge to book a lucrative Champions League return come May.
Getting the New Year underway with a goal against Crystal Palace on January 1st, Palmer has already recorded 14 Premier League strikes and is leading the race for Chelsea’s Golden Boot.
Likewise, finding the net in two of his last three Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, the 22-year-old will be smelling the chance to extend on his flurry here.

A tough return to Stamford Bridge for Potter
While Potter might have only arrived at the London Stadium last month, West Ham appear to be enjoying life under the guidance of the former Chelsea boss.
Despite eventually being forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Aston Villa last week, the Hammers gained plenty of plaudits and would have taken a string of positives away from a gritty performance.
However, almost finding themselves sat in Premier League limbo, West Ham have failed to secure consecutive top-flight victories so far this season and they have gained a reputation for their inconstancies.
Already conceding 44 Premier League goals so far this season and opening Monday’s showdown with the fifth-worst defensive tally among England’s elite, West Ham will be asked some real questions here.
Landing just a single Premier League win at Stamford Bridge since way back in 2002, Potter should be bracing himself for a tricky return to west London on Monday night.
