Prediction: 2-2
Chelsea
There will be fireworks when West Ham United and Chelsea square off against each other in the London derby on Saturday. The Hammers showed character in a 1-1 draw with Fulham, with substitute Danny Ings scoring a late equalizer and, no doubt, that goal gave them a confidence boost. Lucas Paqueta is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Emerson should recover in time to face the Blues. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug is a major doubt.
Enzo Maresca’s men, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bournemouth. Given Chelsea’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Christopher Nkunku should be recalled to the starting eleven after scoring a late winner at Vitality Stadium, while all Malo Gusto, Reece James, and Romeo Lavia remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Soucek):
Tomas Soucek is a Czech Republic international who plays for both Slavia Prague and the Czech national team. Soucek is a product of Slavia Prague football academy and after spending several years at the likes of Viktoria Zizkov and Slovan Liberec, he returned to the Sinobo Stadium outfit in the 2017/2018 season.
Tomas Soucek has established himself as a first-team regular at Slavia Prague and he made his debut with Czech Republic on November 15, 2016 in a friendly against Denmark. The 192-cm tall midfielder has 13 caps for Czech Republic U21 team as well.
His main position on the field is defensive midfield, but he is used as central midfielder and centre-back as well. Tomas Soucek was born in Havlickuv Brod on February 27, 1995. His preferred foot is right and his contract with Slavia Prague should expire on June 30, 2024.
Highlighted Team (Chelsea):
Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.
Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.
After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
