Premiership - Chelsea v West Ham

My last bet for the weekend for the EPL will be the London local derby between Chelsea and W.Ham. Hammers gave a good display at Anfield and Zola knows how to get a similar one vs the Blues. As Michael Ballack stated, Chelsea when playing at Stamford bridge they are not left with much space to create chances, this can explain Chelsea's away form and especially the goal galore when they play away from home.

I really don't believe that Hammers will score, especially now that Peter Chech is back. Chelsea will win this marginally 1-0 or 2-0. Chelsea have kept six clean sheets in their last 7, conceding only two goals with Arsenal. Of course this is a local derby and u never know, Hammers have to win though since 2002-03 with the fabulous Paolo Di Canio who killed Chelsea home & away in that season.

Under 2.75 seems a good bet for me, although Drogba has made his return only to increase the contest with fellow striker Anelka. I think that the first half will be goalless and then Chelsea will nick it just before the end. Still I can't see W.Ham being 'hammered' with 4-0 or 5-0. After all this is a local derby with lots of tension and hatred between the two sides, should be close although Chelsea now they are giants and W.Ham minnows.
