Liverpool legend, Mark Lawrenson, has tipped West Ham United to beat Chelsea by 2 goals to 1 in Sunday’s Premier League fixture at the London Stadium.
West Ham head into the game following a 3-1 victory over Everton in their last Premier League encounter.
Chelsea, on the other hand, defeated Cardiff City 4-1.
“West Ham had a super win last weekend against Everton,” Lawrenson told BBC Sport.
“And they will be hoping Marko Arnautovic recovers from the knee injury he sustained in that game, because he was just terrific.
“The Hammers have lost both their games at London Stadium so far this season, but I have a feeling they will turn up for this one.
“That’s not based on form, because Chelsea have got five league wins out of five, or the fact West Ham are at home, because they have been struggling there.
“I might be going out on a limb in backing the Hammers, but I just think something will click for them this time.
“Prediction is West Ham 2 Chelsea 1.”
The kick-off time is 1:30pm, Nigerian time.
