Chelsea v West Ham Betting Preview - 13/03/2010

Chelsea bid to return to the top of the Premier League this Saturday with a tricky home tie against London rivals West Ham. The Blues got back to winning ways in last weekend's FA Cup semi-final but must now revert attentions to a league campaign which took a massive blow when their almost immaculate home record was torn to pieces by Craig Bellamy and Carlos Tevez a fortnight ago.

The Hammers have their own problems after defeat against Bolton left them perilously close to the relegation zone and will be looking to hit back immediately. They are now just three points off the drop and a defeat this weekend would heap even more pressure on manager Gianfranco Zola.

A penalty apiece resulted in a share of the points when Chelsea travelled to Upton Park earlier in the season but only a maximum return will see them resume their position at the league's summit. Bet365 go 2/9 on a home win, it's 5/1 on the draw with Victor Chandler and a massive 14/1 with Boylesports that West Ham will make it two home league defeats in a row for Chelsea.
