Our prediction: West Ham v Chelsea
Chelsea won this reverse fixture 3-0 earlier in the season but we are at a very different point now. West Ham have been scoring for fun since Lingard’s arrival from Manchester United and will certainly test the Blues defence here.
How Chelsea match up to the Hammers’ combative midfield could well be the defining point to this game. If N’Golo Kante and Jorginho can stave off what their hosts throw at them, the impetus will be on the forwards to put the game to rest.
Tuchel could draft Olivier Giroud in for this tie, while Moyes will be planning to fend off the likes of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner. Both sides should score and a draw wouldn’t be a surprise.
Our prediction: West Ham 1-1 Chelsea (7/1 at bet365)
