London Derby Brings High Stakes for Chelsea and West Ham
Chelsea welcome West Ham to Stamford Bridge on Monday night in a crucial Premier League showdown, as both sides look to find consistency.
Enzo Maresca’s side must bounce back after a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, a game that exposed defensive frailties despite taking the lead. Chelsea have now won just once in their last six Premier League matches, making this London derby pivotal.
Meanwhile, Graham Potter, now in charge of West Ham, returns to Stamford Bridge with a point to prove. The Hammers held Aston Villa to a 1-1 draw last time out, but Potter would relish leaving west London with all three points.
