Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Chelsea vs West Ham

  Chelsea are preparing to host West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday, December 20. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "West Ham are in good shape - really well organised, resilient, and with a threat going forward. "Chelsea have narrowly lost their past two games, at Everton and Wolves but that only backs up what I thought about them already - that they have got the makings of a very good side, but aren't quite there yet. "This should be a good game, and West Ham will make things difficult for Frank Lampard's side, but I think it will see the end of this little blip by the Blues." Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-0  source - BBC
