We simulated Chelsea vs West Ham United to get a Premier League score prediction

Chelsea will continue their push for a Europa League spot later today when the Blues host London rivals West Ham United in the Premier League.

After going three games without a win, Chelsea returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, with Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson both getting on the scoresheet. The result moved the Blues up to eighth in the table, just three points behind Man United in sixth with a better goal difference.

A top-six finish is more than possible now for Mauricio Pochettino's side despite the current injury issues, and three points against West Ham now seem extremely important. With just two wins in their last 12, the Irons are far from their best at the minute, though they earned the bragging rights in the last clash with Chelsea, winning 3-1 at the London Stadium.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Chelsea could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Petrovic; Gilchrist, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson.

We predict that the Hammers could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Emerson; Alvarez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio.

Noni Madueke was the sharpest of the Chelsea attackers in the opening stages, with the winger setting up Cole Palmer and Jackson, but neither of his teammates could tuck away their chances. After the promising start, the game went a bit flat, with neither side creating anything dangerous before half time.
