West Ham United v Stoke

Amid all the headlines and negativity over the crowd trouble at the new stadium, the Hammers' recent upturn in form has gone under the radar. Last Sunday's defeat at Everton was their first in five and they have won their last two at the London Stadium, including a fine display over Chelsea in the EFL Cup. Stoke, however, have won their last three and are unbeaten in five themselves, so will fancy their chances too today..

Chelsea v Everton

The day's late kick-off sees Antonio Conte attempt to extend their winning league run to five matches - having scored 11 without reply in their last four victories. The EFL Cup defeat to West Ham was their only blip in October. Everton's victory over the Hammers six days ago ended their five-match winless streak and they will head to London with increased confidence - and in Romelu Lukaku a former Blue looking to make an impact.
