It’s a Hammers win says you know who

|

Mark Lawrenson has surprisingly tipped the Irons to beat Chelsea at the London Stadium this weekend declaring:  I just think something will click for them this time.”

Making his weekly prediction on BBC Sport he said: “West Ham had a super win last weekend n and they will be hoping Marko Arnautovic recovers from the knee injury he sustained in that game, because he was just terrific.

The Hammers have lost both their games at London Stadium so far this season, but I have a feeling they will turn up for this one.

That’s not based on form, because Chelsea have got five league wins out of five, or the fact West Ham are at home, because they have been struggling there.

I might be going out on a limb in backing the Hammers, but I just think something will click for them this time.”

Lawro’s prediction: 2-1
