Their most recent encounter took place on November 2, 2023. Despite West Ham being inferior during the game, they managed to secure a draw and held onto that result until the final whistle, earning themselves a valuable point. While Chelsea attempted to increase their lead, the match had already reached a tense state, limiting their effectiveness.

West Ham had only 28% possession of the ball, and once they secured the draw, their focus shifted to defensive play. Chelsea, on the other hand, dominated ball possession with 72%, but they struggled to capitalize on this advantage as their attempts to exploit spaces were consistently thwarted.

West Ham successfully completed 75% of their created plays, which was relatively impressive given their limited time on the ball. Their primary objective was to frustrate the opposition’s attacks. In contrast, Chelsea boasted a 90% passing accuracy but lacked effectiveness in front of goal. West Ham had two shots on target, resulting in one goal, while Chelsea managed four shots on target, scoring once.

The opening goal of the game was netted by midfielder Joao Félix in the 16th minute, assisted by Fernández. The equalizer came from West Ham midfielder Emerson Palmieri, who received a delivery from Bowen.
