Former Liverpool FC striker Owen is backing Chelsea FC to secure a 3-1 win over West Ham on Monday night.
“It’s been a tough week for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea,” Owen told BetVictor.
“They went into last weekend as genuine title contenders, but after back-to-back defeats, the Stamford Bridge faithful will have been left scratching their heads.
“West Ham arrive here unbeaten in two. The Hammers have been difficult to play against this season, so Chelsea will have to be at their best if they are to win this.
“The Blues are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 home matches. Interestingly, there have been over 2.5 goals in five of West Ham’s last 6 league matches.
“I can see goals on the menu again, and although Chelsea are wounded, I think they’ll get the result they need.”
Chelsea FC were unbeaten in nine games in the Premier League before Everton were 1-0 winners against Lampard’s side last weekend.
The Blues will be eager to avoid dropping more points in the Premier League title race.
