Jose Mourinho has named the same XI that drew 0-0 with Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League in midweek.

That means that Eden Hazard will start in his usual place on the left wing - he had been left out of the win against Aston Villa last week after poor performances.

But with both Pedro and Loic Remy injured and Oscar out of form Hazard, who impressed in midweek, always looked likely to start despite Mourinho failing to confirm it during his pre-match press conference.

The only changes for the Blues come on the bench where new signing Marco Amelia comes in as a reserve goalkeeper for youngster Jamal Blackman.

For West Ham Slaven Bilic has only made one change, with Victor Moses ineligible for the match as he is on loan from the Blues.

In his place starts Argentinian forward Mauro Zarate. Michail Antonio takes up a place on the bench.

LINE-UPS:

West Ham: Adrian, Jenkinson, Tomkins, Collins, Cresswell, Noble, Kouyate, Zarate, Payet, Lanzini, Sakho

Subs: Randolph, Carroll, Valencia, Obiang, Ogbonna, Jelavic, Antonio

Chelsea: Begovic; Zouma, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa.

Subs: Amelia, Baba, Oscar, Falcao, Mikel, Traore, Loftus-Cheek
