Supporters not expecting miracles at Stamford Bridge

|

West Ham supporters are not expecting miracles tonight at Stamford Bridge as the Hammers take on Chelsea.

With nearly 1,000 Claret and Hugh readers voting over 61% expect a loss tonight, with over 21% predicting a draw and over 17% saying an away win is possible. The Hammers have not won at Stamford Bridge since 2002 when a Paolo Di Canio brace and Jermain Defoe goal made them 3-2 winners.

Chelsea are unbeaten in 12 home league meetings since that 2002 (W8, D4).

Chelsea have lost just once at Stamford Bridge (W10, D5), a 1-0 defeat by Leicester on 22 December.

They have not been defeated at home in the Premier League on a Monday since December 1994, winning 11 and drawing three since then.

West Ham are winless in six league away matches, losing five, since a 2-1 victory at Southampton on 27 December.

The Hammers have kept just two clean sheets on the road in 15 league fixtures.

West Ham have won four of their last five London derbies in the Premier League, drawing the other.
