Saturday’s late kick off in the Premier League sees struggling West Ham United face fourth place Chelsea at Upton Park.

The hosts have won just once in their last ten league games, and go in to the game on the back of their 3-1 defeat to Norwich City two weeks ago.

Manager Sam Allardyce is without several first team players for the visit of Jose Mourinho’s men, with Andy Carroll, Ravzan Rat, Winston Reid, Matt Taylor, Mladen Petric, Ricardo Vaz Te and Alou Diarra all side-lined.

Carlton Cole is 12.0 (11/1) with Bet Victor to open the scoring, as is captain Kevin Nolan while Ravel Morrison is a 17.0 (16/1) shot with the same firm.

The Hammers are as highly priced as the 6.0 (5/1) of offer from Bet Victor to take all three points, while the same company offer odds of 4.1 (31/10) for the draw. Chelsea are 1.67 (4/6) shots with Coral.

The Blues have taken just one point from the last six available, and needed a late penalty to salvage something from their clash with West Bromwich Albion last time out.

Ashley Cole is set to miss out with a rib injury, while Fernando Torres is also a doubt with a muscle problem.

Cameroon international Samuel Eto’o is favourite to get the first goal of the game at odds of 6.0 (5/1), while both Frank Lampard and Oscar are priced at 10.0 (9/1) with Bet Victor.

Sam Allardyce’s men ran out 3-1 winners in last season’s corresponding fixture a year ago, while Chelsea responded with a 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge back in March.

With both sides currently falling somewhat below expectations, a tight game could well be in store so you may be tempted to take advantage of Bet Victor’s offer of 8.5 (15/2) for a 1-1 score-line.

The two sides have mustered just ten league goals between them in the first half of their matches so far this season, and you can back a goalless first half at 3.0 (2/1) with a variety of firms.
