Ladies and gentle men. It is time for another momentous, mouthwatering, Mind blowing, marvellous, magical encounter.
It is the clash of the titans CHELSEA up against WESTHAM.
Chelsea vs Westham
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Date: 26-12-14
Time: 12:30pm GMT
Just as I have told us before, that all our Christmas period fixtures are all 'HAM' - WestHAM, TottenHAM and SoutHAMpton. But the good news is that we shall harm all the HAMS.
Say amen. Amen.
Things you must know:
Chelsea:
*.Eden Hazard sustained an ankle injury in the 2-0 win over Stoke on Monday but should be fine to play here.
*.John Obi Mikel could drop out with Oscar returning to the starting lineup and Cesc Fàbregas moving back into a deeper role after playing more advanced at the Brittania.
Westham:
*.Mark Noble is a doubt after missing the win over Leicester with a calf injury.
*.James Tomkins was forced off with a hamstring injury and is a doubt. He could be given some time off given the fixture pileup at this time of year.

Match Facts:
Chelsea's last five Boxing Day matches have seen a total of only six goals scored, since their famous 4-4 draw with Aston Villa in 2007.
Defeat to Arsenal last season ended a run of three consecutive Barclays Premier League wins on Boxing Day for the Hammers.
Sam Allardyce has managed only two wins in 21 BPL matches against Chelsea (W2 D6 L13).
Allardyce has no wins against Jose Mourinho in the BPL (D3 L5) but his three draws have all come in away matches (in four visits to Stamford Bridge).
