West Ham United vs Chelsea Player To Watch - Jadon Sancho

Sancho will be expected to make his first start for Chelsea this weekend. Especially following his man of the match performance against Bournemouth last time out.

The former Manchester United man got himself an assist in the game and looked incredibly bright in a Chelsea shirt. Very different to how we saw him so often at Old Trafford.

Expect him to start and be a key part of Chelsea’s attacking play.

West Ham United vs Chelsea Prediction

Considering West Ham’s poor form, especially at home in recent weeks, and Chelsea’s good performances away from home we can only see this game going one way. Chelsea should come away with all three points here.
