EPL: What the stats say ahead of Chelsea v West Ham

By Our Reporter On Apr 23, 2022 0

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 15 Premier League home games against West Ham (W10 D4), going down 1-0 in November 2019.

West Ham have won three of their last five Premier League games against Chelsea (L2), including a 3-2 win at the London Stadium in the reverse fixture this season. The Hammers had only won three of their previous 26 league games against the Blues before this (D6 L17).

Coming into this weekend’s games, only Tottenham (9) have won fewer points in Premier League London derbies this season than West Ham (10), with the Hammers losing three of their four such games on the road this term.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their eight Premier League games played on Sunday this season (W5 D3), with their last such defeat coming on the final day last season (2-1 v Aston Villa).

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 25 Premier League London derbies played on a Sunday (W18 D6), with that loss coming at home to Tottenham in April 2018.

After winning consecutive away league games against Watford and Crystal Palace, West Ham are winless in their last five on the road (D1 L4). They’ve lost their last three in a row, their longest run since a run of seven between December 2019 and June 2020.

Both teams have scored in 21 of West Ham’s 33 Premier League games this season – no side has had this happen more often in the competition so far this term.

West Ham manager David Moyes has never won in 16 Premier League away games against Chelsea (D7 L9). There are just two occasions of a manager facing a side more on the road without ever winning, with Moyes also responsible for both of those (18 vs Arsenal, 17 vs Liverpool).

Manuel Lanzini, Jarrod Bowen and Arthur Masuaku were on target for West Ham in their 3-2 win against Chelsea in the reverse fixture. Only two players have scored home and away Premier League goals against the Blues for the Hammers in a single season – Paolo Di Canio (2002-03) and Andy Carroll (2015-16).

Michail Antonio has scored just one goal in his last 19 appearances for West Ham in all competitions, having netted nine times in his first 22 games this term. His current run of 13 Premier League games without a goal is his longest such run since a streak of 14 games between March and November 2018.
