West Ham are optimistic that striker Andy Carroll, who has been out for a month with a groin injury, will be fit to make his comeback on Monday.

However, winger Michail Antonio serves a one-game ban.

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard is expected to be available despite suffering a knock in training.

They could name the same side which began the 3-1 win against Swansea, with Cesc Fabregas again likely to be preferred to Nemanja Matic.

Head-to-head

• West Ham have won their last two league and cup home games against Chelsea, both by 2-1 scorelines.
• The Hammers’ victory in this fixture last season is their only win in the last eight Premier League meetings (D2, L5).

West Ham United

• The Hammers could draw three successive Premier League games for the first time since a run of four draws between March and April 2016.
• Andy Carroll, who has scored in two of his last three games against Chelsea, is one short of 50 Premier League goals.
• Manuel Lanzini has scored seven times in 11 Premier League London derbies – compared to just four goals in 38 games against sides from outside the capital.

Chelsea

• Chelsea have kept two clean sheets in their last eight league games – having recorded 10 shut-outs in the previous 12 top flight matches.
• Antonio Conte has lost two of his three away London derbies in the Premier League, at Arsenal and Tottenham, but won at Crystal Palace.
• Diego Costa has scored in 54% of his Premier League appearances, a higher proportion than any other player to feature in at least 20 matches.
• Costa needs two goals to reach 50 Premier League goals, and could become the fifth quickest player to reach that mark after Andrew Cole (65 games), Alan Shearer (66), Ruud van Nistelrooy (68) and Fernando Torres (72).
• Pedro has been directly involved in 10 goals in his last nine games in all competitions, scoring seven and setting up three.
