Chelsea can take another giant stride towards the Premier League title when they travel to face West Ham United in the Monday fixture.
West Ham United rallied to earn a 1-1 draw away at Watford last time out, despite going a goal down early on.
Andre Ayew’s first goal for the Hammers secured a point, who finished with 10 men, with Michail Antonio dismissed.
Chelsea were too strong for Swansea City last weekend to open up a 10 point lead at the top of the table.
Goals from Cesc Fabregas, Pedro and Diego Costa ensured Chelsea secured a comfortable win.
