West Ham United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups

It's time!  As with most games, this won't be easy.

"This season we are showing we deserve to be top of the table but we want to continue to stay there. There are 12 games to play and anything can happen."

-Antonio Conte; source: Chelsea FC

Chelsea start the game with a 7-point lead at the top and 8 over Manchester City, who have a game-in-hand.

Three more points would be nice.
