West Ham United and Chelsea will face each other at the London Stadium in the Premier League this weekend.
West Ham will take on Chelsea at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Owen has backed the Blues to pick up all three points from the encounter against the Hammers, although he has predicted David Moyes’s side to score.
Owen wrote on Betvictor.com: “David Moyes will break an unwanted Premier League record in Saturday’s early kick off when he manages a side for the 41st successive PL game who start the fixture in the relegation zone.
“I would be surprised if that unwelcome run ends following the visit of the champions, despite an improved showing from the Hammers at the Etihad last weekend.
“The hosts may well score but with Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata in such good form for the visitors, it is difficult to look beyond an away win.”
A footnote added: “Tip: Chelsea to win and both teams to score at 9/4.”
Chelsea have a much better team than West Ham do and are still in the race for the Premier League title this season.
The Blues are in good form at the moment, and it is hard to see Antonio Conte’s side drop all three points at the London Stadium.
West Ham did give Manchester City a run for their money at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, and the performance of David Moyes’s side was encouraging.
There have been some positive signs at the Hammers in recent weeks, but the London Stadium faithful are likely to be disappointed on Saturday afternoon.
