Both teams, rather unusually, are in good spirits ahead of this one Chelsea have a 100% record in the league under Liam Rosenior and beat Napoli to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League. Meanwhile, West Ham have won their last two, including last weekend's fairly stress-free outing against Sunderland."

New signing Adama Traore is on the bench. Starting XIs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Badiashile, Hato; Caicedo, Fernandez; Gittens, Palmer, Garnacho; Delap. Subs: Sharman-Lowe, James, Acheampong, Fofana, Cucurella, Santos, Neto, Joao Pedro, Guiu."

He is one of seven changes Liam Rosenior makes to his XI from the Champions League in midweek. Nuno only makes one change from West Ham's 3-1 win against Sunderland, with Malick Diouf making his first start since returning from Afcon, replacing Ollie Scarles.
