BT Sport pundit predicts West Ham United v Chelsea Premier League clash
Joleon Lescott predicts West Ham and Chelsea to share the spoils in the Premier League when the two sides meet each other on Saturday, 10 February.
Both sides have had underwhelming first halves of the season and will be looking to get closer to where they first aimed to finish.
However, the BT Sport pundit sees the two sides playing out a goalless draw and going away with a point apiece.
He told Livescore, “West Ham remain just a point off the relegation zone but their current form is solid enough after picking up five points from their last four games.
“For all the new faces London rivals Chelsea have brought in, they still don’t look like prolific scorers after goalless draws in their last two Premier League games.
“I’m expecting that run to extend to three on Saturday lunchtime.
“Prediction: West Ham 0-0 Chelsea.”
Will take it
If David Moyes is handed a draw before kick off, he’s definitely going to take it.
While Chelsea have not been good under Graham Potter, they will still go into this game as favourites.
They’ve spent crazy amounts of money on players in January and it’ll be a huge surprise if they do not end up finishing in the top four.
West Ham, on the other hand, find themselves in a relegation battle, but will still be happy taking a point against their London rivals.
It remains to be seen how this one transpires as both teams are looking for a change of fortune.
Hopefully, the London Stadium crowd can create a hostile environment for the Blues players and make this a game worth remembering for the hosts.
Moyes knows he’s fighting for his job especially when managers are openly flirting with the prospect of taking over at the London Stadium.
