Karren Brady shares how she now feels about West Ham stars who’ll feature vs Chelsea
West Ham are set to face Chelsea on Friday as they return to the London Stadium for the first time in the 2025/26 campaign.
Graham Potter is in desperate need of a result after West Ham’s 3-0 humbling against Sunderland.
Therefore, the pressure is already on the East London club to deliver a result, with fears of relegation heightening.
Vice-chairman Karren Brady has been front and centre in recent weeks as she looks to calm the storm at the London Stadium.
Now, ahead of the match against Chelsea, the 56-year-old has spoken out.
Karren Brady excited to see West Ham stars back at the London Stadium
Brady has been in the headlines recently for West Ham after her interview on talkSPORT.
The vice-chairman talked about numerous issues, with Brady insisting that West Ham are looking to sign a new midfielder.
However, with this yet to materialise, Potter remains under pressure at West Ham to deliver a result against their London rivals.
- The Hammers have only won two of their last 10 matches against Chelsea
- Their last victory came in 2023
- Potter is under pressure to get a result on Friday
Now, before the Chelsea showdown, Brady has taken to Instagram on 22 August to share her excitement about the upcoming match.
She posted: “Tonight, West Ham are back on home soil at London Stadium to take on Chelsea!
“I’m excited to see our West Ham players back on the pitch, representing the badge with pride.
“Let’s go, Hammers!”
The atmosphere could quickly turn sour vs Chelsea
It is no secret that The Hammers have a tough challenge up against the Club World Cup holders.
Fans are already fuming with the East London club, given their poor transfer window to date.
| West Ham’s record vs Chelsea | |
| Wins | 44 |
| Draws | 23 |
| Losses | 57 |
Therefore, if Potter’s side goes behind early, the crowd could quickly turn against their manager and the board.
Chelsea are overwhelming favourites against West Ham, and if another hiding occurs, the tension could spill over.
Hopefully, Potter will manage to avoid this and take all three points on Friday against the Blues.
