Chelsea can extend their lead atop the table when they kick off the Premier League TV schedule this weekend with a trip to face West Ham at the London Stadium.
The Blues are currently one point ahead of in-form Manchester City but will hope to keep the pressure on this weekend with another victory.
Thomas Tuchel will be pleased to boast Romelu Lukaku back among his ranks but continues to battle defensive issues with Ben Chilwell out and Reece James a doubt.
West Ham are slipping away from the elite pack and are being gained on by those below them in the Premier League table going into this weekend.
The Hammers defeated Liverpool, went away for the international break, then came back and haven’t won in three games since. They were close to victory against Brighton but for a superb Neal Maupay overhead kick equaliser at the death.

Our prediction: West Ham v Chelsea
Chelsea are on a 12-game unbeaten streak but their most recent Premier League outings haven’t been the most convincing they’ve looked this season.
They have Edouard Mendy to thank profusely on several occasions this season for keeping them in games, and Watford provided another example of this.
West Ham have lost their spark since the international break and desperately need Michail Antonio to find form before they fade further.
Our prediction: West Ham 1-2 Chelsea (17/2 at bet365)
