Personal analysis: Chelsea currently has certain problems on both offense and defense. The unstable performance of Jackson at the offensive point has always been an old problem. He is only better connected with Maduekai on the field, and he feels that he is not on the same channel with Sancho. Enzo in the midfield played a few good games in the early stage of the league and then returned to the old way. In particular, the midfield defense effect of his combination with Caicedo is not good. Caicedo is more suitable for the full-back position in terms of ball holding ability and speed ability. The defensive ability of Cucurella and Colwell on the back line is not bad. Relatively speaking, Chalobah and James are both worse in speed and defensive awareness. In the strong dialogue, the defensive rhythm of these two people can't keep up. West Ham United has been incomplete this season due to injuries. The team's current style of play is somewhat similar to Inter Milan, both of which move the two full-backs forward to the midfield to make up for the lack of firepower on the offensive end. The style of play is also relatively simple, that is, to lob the ball in front of the goal to grab a shot. Paqueta, Kudus, and Soucek are not particularly strong in the ability to compete for headers and grab points on the front line, so they can't find too many good scoring opportunities when encountering a team with better defensive ability. The team's defensive end is still more suitable for playing a four-back formation. Emerson and Wan-Bissaka are both good in speed and defensive ability, especially Wan-Bissaka, who has a good overall ability.

In terms of the offensive play of the two teams, the tactical difference between Chelsea and the Hammers is relatively large. Chelsea is relatively more of an active and offensive team, while West Ham United prefers to play counterattacks and positional warfare, and their ability to attack in front of the goal is slightly stronger than Chelsea. Chelsea prefers to counterattack directly through the midfield and long passes. Several forwards have obvious speed advantages, but they cannot play a big role when there is no space, especially in the positional warfare. The ability to attack in front of the goal is average. In this game, Chelsea's home game has a value of 1.5 goals, which is a bit high. In particular, Bowen and Somerville on the Hammers side have returned from injuries in this game, which can better strengthen the team's offensive ability, while Chelsea's right-wing defense is not solid. In this case, it is difficult for Chelsea to win a big victory, so this game recommends West Ham United + 1.5 wins, and the score is expected to be 2-1 or 2-2.
