West Ham vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tip
Estevao To Score Or Assist
Chelsea should make a few changes after a goalless draw with Crystal Palace and Estevao looks set for his first Premier League start after a solid performance from the bench last week. The Brazilian youngster looked lively against the Eagles with one shot three accurate passes in the final third, as well as four crosses. Those stats suggest he can either score or assist if he is involved from the off against the Hammers.
Joao Pedro To Have 2+ Shots On Target
Joao Pedro had a quiet game against Crystal Palace but still managed two shots. The 23-year-old should get a few more opportunities against a West Ham defence that shipped three at Sunderland last time out. Pedro impressed for Chelsea at the Club World Cup and in pre-season, he can at least test the keeper twice on Friday.
Jean-Clair Todibo To Be Fouled 1+ Times
West Ham defender Jean-Clair Todibo was on the receiving end of one foul at Sunderland last week and could find himself matched up against the likes of Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez at various points on Friday. Both of those players averaged at least one foul per-game last season, so as one of the outsiders in this market Todibo to be on the receiving end of at least one foul offers value.
Tomas Soucek To Have 1+ Shot On Target
Tomas Soucek had one attempt on target in West Ham’s defeat at Sunderland in 19 minutes after featuring as a substitute. The Czech should come into the starting line-up on Friday and he can at least test the keeper again. Soucek averaged 1.6 attempts per-game last term and tended to be fairly accurate, with exactly half of his shots either on target or blocked.
