THE Premier League month ends with a bang this Saturday as Chelsea host London rivals West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.
It is a quick turnaround for Liam Rosenior’s Blues, who are fresh off their dramatic Champions League showdown in Naples on Wednesday night. They face a West Ham side that is finding its groove under Nuno Espírito Santo, having won back-to-back games.

The betting angle: Fatigue to foil the Blues?
The narrative here is all about freshness. Chelsea were pushed to the limit against Napoli just over 60 hours ago. While the return of Cole Palmer was a boost, the physical toll of that high-intensity game could be evident against a rested West Ham side.
The Hammers have looked like a different beast since Nuno Espírito Santo tweaked his system. Their 2-1 win away at Tottenham (ironically against former Hammer Mohammed Kudus) showed they can mix it with the big boys. Jarrod Bowen has taken over the talismanic role since Kudus’ departure, and the pace of Crysencio Summerville on the opposite flank is perfectly suited to Nuno’s counter-attacking style.
Chelsea have the quality, but the kick-off after a European away day is the classic “banana skin.” We fancy the Irons to take something from the Bridge.
- Our tip: West Ham Double Chance (Win or Draw).
- The longshot: Jarrod Bowen to score anytime.
