Chelsea vs West Ham prediction
Chelsea’s season has not gone to plan as part of Pochettino’s return to Premier League football and the former Tottenham boss faces an uncertain summer at Stamford Bridge.
Moyes’ position at the London Stadium is also under question and with neither team in their most consistent moment of form they could cancel each other out.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 West Ham
