Out-of-form Chelsea will host West Ham in this Premier League game hoping to make a return to the top of the English game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Blues are a much-changed side from the team they had last season after losing Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Rudiger.

They have made a scatter-gun approach to strengthening their squad in this transfer window with Raheem Sterling joined by Kalidou Koulibaly and Weston Fofana, among others.

The Blues remain confident that they will become a top-four club by the end of this season, but they have been poor and West Ham is returning to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hammers have similarly not started this campaign very well, but David Moyes’ side is recovering and they held Tottenham to a 1-1 draw in their last game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their performance in that fixture was impressive as it helped them to beat one of the title challengers, but Chelsea could be a tougher test.

As a London derby, form might not count, so the Irons will want to be on their very best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When these team’s meet, the games are always tough and both won their home fixture last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Chelsea has won three and lost two of their last five head to heads.
