It's a London derby at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea clash with West Ham. Opta presents the tale of the tape.

"Having failed to win any of their first three home league games this season (D2 L1), Chelsea have won each of their last three at Stamford Bridge without conceding. They last won four in a row while keeping a clean sheet each time back in January 2015 (a run of five in which the fourth game was against West Ham)."

Chelsea are 2.47/5 to win to nil.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 13 home Premier League meetings with West Ham (W9 D4) since a 2-3 loss in September 2002. They are 1.3130/100 to win.

West Ham have won just one of their last seven Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D3 L3), winning 1-0 at home under David Moyes in December 2017. The draw is 6.411/2.

Having failed to win any of their first three home league games this season (D2 L1), Chelsea have won each of their last three at Stamford Bridge without conceding.

West Ham are winless in their last seven Premier League games (D2 L5), losing each of the last three while conceding three goals each time. Twice before in the competition have West Ham lost four in a row while conceding 3+ goals each time (September 2010 and September 2016), and they could become the first team to suffer this on three separate occasions. A Chelsea win and over 2.5 goals is 1.75/7.

This will be Chelsea's 250th Premier League London derby (W128 D67 L54). The Blues have won more such games than any other side in the competition's history, and also have the best points-per-game ratio (1.8). Chelsea are 1.9210/11 to win half-time/full-time.

Just 32% of Chelsea's Premier League goals this season have been scored in home games (9/28). The lowest ratio of goals scored at home in a complete Premier League season is 34% by Manchester City in 2006-07 (10/29). Under 3.5 goals is 1.814/5.

West Ham's Michail Antonio has scored in each of his last three Premier League London derby games - no player has ever scored in four such successive appearances in the competition for the Hammers. Antonio is 6.05/1 to score.
