Prediction

  • Chelsea look like the team to beat after winning almost every league match under manager Sonia Bompastor. Leicester City were the first team to hold them to a draw this season in their last match with it ending 1-1. They sit at the top on 28 points, six points clear of second.
  • West Ham sit at the opposite end of the table and they lost 3-1 in their last match against Aston Villa. They sit in 10th on eight points, only three points above relegation.
  • The Hammers are winless in 12 meetings against the Blues but their only point came against them on the road in March 2019, drawing 1-1.
  • Chelsea have won each of their last 10 games against West Ham and could win 11 in a row here. That would be the first time they've done that in the league against the same opposition.
  • West Ham also don't start off the year well. In six previous attempts, they haven't won their first league match in a calendar year and their only draw came against Tottenham in 2022.
  • Expect the Blues to start of the year well with a good win against the Hammers.
