West Ham vs Chelsea: Weather, Tickets and Travel Ahead of London Derby
West Ham United are gearing up for their first home clash of the new Premier League season as they welcome Chelsea to the London Stadium this Saturday.
The Hammers are looking to bounce back quickly after their bruising 3-0 loss at Sunderland last week. And what better way to lift spirits than by toppling a fierce London rival?
Chelsea, however, won’t make life easy. Fresh from their Club World Cup success and tipped as genuine title contenders, the Blues come into this fixture full of confidence. Last season’s visit ended badly for West Ham, with Chelsea running out 3-0 winners under then-manager Julen Lopetegui.
For Graham Potter, who now faces his former club, Saturday is more than just another game. After last weekend’s defeat, he needs a response. A strong one.
Glorious Weather Expected in East London
Supporters heading to Stratford can look forward to summer-like conditions.
According to the Met Office, temperatures will sit around 22°C at kick-off, with a minimal five per cent chance of rain. Winds are expected to remain light at about five miles per hour, while humidity should hover near 41%.
A stark contrast to Chelsea’s sweltering Club World Cup matches, where the mercury often climbed above 35°C. Both teams will surely welcome the cooler English summer climate.
Tickets Still on Sale
Despite the hype surrounding this West Ham vs Chelsea derby, tickets remain available in the home end.
Prices range from £50 to £105 for adults. Fans can purchase online or via the ticket hotline on 0333 030 1966.

The game will also be broadcast live on Sky Sports, which may explain why some seats are yet to be filled. Still, the Hammers will need a loud home crowd if they are to match one of the league’s most formidable sides.
