Stelling gives his Chelsea v Hammers prediction

Jeff Stelling believes West Ham will lose to Chelsea on Saturday.

The Hammers go to Stamford Bridge for their second London derby in a week, after drawing with Spurs in midweek.

Stelling predicts a selection of the weekend’s results in Sky’s Super 6 competition and he believes the Hammers will get beat by the Blues when they travel to west London.

He has backed the big-spending Blues to win 1-0 and consign the Irons to their fourth defeat of the campaign.

Chelsea, of course, were busy in the summer transfer window, spending a fortune and bringing in the likes of Wesley Fofana, for over £70m, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Marc Cucurella.

Chelsea have struggled for rhythm, though, and have won just two of their opening five games, drawing once and losing the other two, but they will begin the game three points clear of the Irons. They are 10th, while David Moyes’ men are currently 14th.
