West London side Chelsea go head-to-head with East London club West Ham at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off set for 12:30 on Saturday 31 January.

Backing Chelsea -1 on the Asian Handicap means the insurance of money back if they beat West Ham by a single goal. However, there’s a nice return at odds of -128 if the Blues win by two or more.
