SURE ODDS BANNER

The latest instalment of a Premier League London derby between West Ham United and Chelsea takes centre stage at the London Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

Julen Lopetegui‘s men have accumulated four points from as many games in the 2024-25 campaign and most recently rescue a point in a 1-1 draw at Fulham last weekend.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have picked up seven points from their opening four league matches, including all three collected from a slender 1-0 victory at Bournemouth last time out.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 122
West Ham wins: 44
Draws: 23
Chelsea wins: 55

West Ham and Chelsea have butted heads a total of 122 times across all competitions, with the Blues currently leading the head-to-head record having posted 55 wins to the Hammers’ 44, while there have also been 23 draws between these two teams.

You have to go back over a century for the very first encounter between these two clubs, who played out a goalless stalemate in Division One at Stamford Bridge in October 1923, seven days before West Ham won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Upton Park.

Chelsea’s first victory over West Ham came in the FA Cup third round in January 1931 when they celebrated a 3-1 away victory, before going on to win four of their next five meetings in all competitions.

After the Second World War, West Ham enjoyed a lengthy spell of dominance over Chelsea, winning 17 times and drawing eight games out of 34 in all tournaments, and it was only until the mid to late 1970s when this head-to-head contest began to even itself out.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), West Ham have faced Chelsea on 56 occasions and have only come out on top 15 times, while the Blues have celebrated success 30 times and have scored at least two or more goals in 24 of those triumphs.

Between 2006 and 2015, Chelsea enjoyed plenty of success over West Ham, winning 14 Premier League games out of 18 and losing just once, but since then the Blues have only come out on top in eight of their last 18 top-flight battles with the Hammers, who have won six and drawn four in this period.

In the 2023-24 campaign, West Ham picked up all three points in a 3-1 home victory over Chelsea, but the Blues got their revenge in the reverse fixture towards the end of that season and put the Hammers to the sword 5-0 courtesy of goals from Nicolas Jackson (2), Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher – their biggest-ever winning margin over the East London outfit.
