West Ham vs. Chelsea: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

West Ham United will host Chelsea on Saturday in an English Premier League matchup of clubs looking to get back on the right track.

Since beating Manchester City to move into second place in the table, Chelsea have struggled in the past couple of matches, losing to Newcastle United and only earning a draw at home against West Brom. This has dropped the Blues into fourth place and five points out of first.

Meanwhile, West Ham would love to be in that situation after winning only two of 11 matches to start the year. After a recent loss to Norwich City, they have to start thinking about avoiding relegation while sitting in 16th place.

Each side could really use a victory in this return from an international break, so fans should expect a great deal of action throughout the match.

When: Saturday, Nov. 23 at 12:30 p.m. ET; 5:30 p.m. GMT

Where: Upton Park, London, England

Watch: NBC

Odds (via SkyBet): Chelsea (8-13), West Ham (9-2), Draw (3-1)

Top Storyline: Can Chelsea Continue Its Recent Scoring Outburst?

Counting all competitions, Chelsea have scored at least two goals in eight of the last nine matches. The only exception was the shutout loss to Newcastle, which featured a poor performance by Fernando Torres up front.

The problem with Torres throughout his career has been his inconsistency. At times, he appears to be among the best scorers in Europe, but he also can become invisible on the pitch.

Fortunately, Chelsea have an aggressive midfield that can generate goals at any time. Players like Eden Hazard, Oscar and Frank Lampard are always a threat to get onto the scoresheet. However, the club still needs to find a striker who can become a go-to option up front.

Samuel Eto'o has taken the role in some matches, along with Andre Schurrle off the bench.

Either way, the club needs to find a way to keep this scoring going in order to maintain pace with the best clubs in the league. 

Prediction: Chelsea 1, West Ham 0

Defensively, West Ham have been excellent this season with only 11 goals allowed in 12 matches. Goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen has helped the club earn six clean sheets in league play.

Unfortunately, an ankle injury to Winston Reid will significantly hurt this unit, allowing Chelsea more opportunities to score.

While the Blues have struggled to get the ball in the net on the road, they have enough options on the attack that will allow them to pass the ball around and find the best opening. As long as they find a way to finish, they should get at least one score in the match.

On the other hand, West Ham have struggled mightily on the offensive end and will have a hard time getting any legitimate looks against Petr Cech in this one. Chelsea should come away with a low-scoring win to help them move back up in the table.
