Eden Hazard is fit enough to start the Boxing Day fixture against West Ham after suffering a late injury during the win against Stoke on Monday night.

The Belgian keeps his place on the left wing for Premier League leading Chelsea, as Blues manager Jose Mourinho makes one change to the team that won at the Britannia.

Oscar, who started that game on the bench, comes into the starting line-up for John Obi Mikel; Cesc Fabregas will play a deeper role than the one he did in the 2-0 win.

For West Ham, Sam Allardyce has made three changes to the team that beat Leicester City last Saturday.

Mark Noble's return has forced Alex Song to the West Ham bench with Sam Allardyce opting to keep Kevin Nolan in the starting line-up.

Enner Valencia replaces Diafra Sakho up front, while James Collins comes in for James Tomkins at centre-back.

Subs: Cech, Luis, Zouma, Ramires, Drogba, Mikel, Schurrle.

West Ham: Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Reid, Cresswell, Nolan, Noble, Kouyate, Downing, Valencia, Carroll.
