Chelsea receives West Ham: Can the blues end their crisis?

Von WOM

In the exciting duel of the Premier League, Chelsea and West Ham United face each other tonight. The encounter takes place at the Stamford Bridge and promises a lot of drama and tension. Chelsea has the chance to advance to the coveted Champions League places with a win, which is of the utmost importance for the blues. The coach Enzo Maresca is challenged after the last mixed results, since his team was only able to win one of the last seven league games. Nevertheless, Maresca believes in a turn and emphasizes: "We have to show a good performance to win the game."

The snapshot of the teams

West Ham, on the other hand, has to deal with a 14th place in the table and was only able to convince a limited extent under the new coach Graham Potter. After a win, a draw and a defeat in the last three games, the guest from London will perform with mixed feelings. The most important goal for the hammers is to free yourself from the lower half of the table and to stabilize the shape. Coach Potter brings his players in the right direction, but hardly has time to bloom fully because he estimates the qualities of the opponent: "You are a tactically well-positioned team that fights for a Champions League place."

In the past, the Chelsea players had clear advantages at the Stamford Bridge, where they won the last two duels against West Ham with an impressive overall score of 8: 0. The last defeat against the hammers already dates from August 2023. The more blues burn onto their winning streak and start the catch -up in the table, since a victory could bring them closer to the top positions. The game is kicked off under the eyes of the fans at 8 p.m., transferred live to Sky Sports Main Event, which further increases the anticipation for a gripping derby.
