West Ham vs Chelsea Preview

West Ham, under manager Graham Potter, enters this match under significant pressure following their 3-0 loss to Sunderland. The Hammers have won only two of their last nine home games under Potter, and a loss to Chelsea could see him match the lowest points tally (10) in the first 10 home games by any West Ham manager, a record currently held by Alan Curbishley and Avram Grant.

Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca, comes into the game with a squad bolstered by the Club World Cup title but hampered by injuries and transfer uncertainties. Despite a goalless draw against Crystal Palace, the Blues created 1.9 expected goals and 19 shots, indicating potential to dominate. However, injuries to Levi Colwill (ACL tear), Roméo Lavia, Benoît Badiashile, and Omari Kellyman, along with a ban for Mykhailo Mudryk, pose challenges.
