West Ham vs Chelsea Premier League Betting

Two teams on opposite ends of the English Premier League table are set to do battle on Wednesday, June 30th as another London Derby kicks off between West Ham United and Chelsea. Now that the English Premier League is back in full swing, there are a lot of interesting stories about to unfold as Liverpool appear to have the league title wrapped up.
The relegation dogfight is in full swing and the race for European places also looks to be really competitive with several teams in the mix for a spot in Europe and a drop down to the Championship, as well.
Despite West Ham being the hosts of this contest, their crosstown rivals appear to be getting the nod from the bookmakers as the distinct favourites to win the match-up. As it currently stands, you’ll find Chelsea priced below odds-on to win the contest and that would give them the edge that they need to stay ahead of Manchester United - who are nipping at their heels for fourth spot.
Both Wolves and Tottenham remain in striking distance behind Manchester United with a few league games remaining to be played. You can count on Chelsea to field a full strength side in this contest as the three points could be a make or break scenario for the Blues and their target of a Champions League spot next year.
West Ham are precariously perched right above the relegation zone with a meagre 27 point haul for this season. They remain close to Watford in the table with the three relegation sides sitting in there with only goal difference separating many of them at the time of this writing.

While no side is mathematically relegated at this point (even Norwich can pull themselves out with a good run of results), every single game is crucial at this point and if the Hammers could secure even a point from this contest they would be sitting in pole position against their rivals.
