What They're Saying

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via the Daily Mail): "I have lots of respect for the players in this country. It doesn't matter, English or not English. The moment you are a football player in this country, I respect you a lot. At this moment, the German guys are on the beach. The Spanish guys are in the Maldives getting sun. Everybody else is doing that. But in this country, you play on the 22, you play on Boxing Day, you play on the 28, you play on New Year's day. There is no Christmas, just football, and I think [the players] deserve respect."

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce (via the Daily Mail): "We're a completely different unit and we're enjoying our Christmas more this year. We do have the hardest games over 48 hours, though."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: West Ham's Andy Carroll has enjoyed a modicum of success since returning from injury. In seven league appearances, the 25-year-old has three goals and an assist.

Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Fabregas, Matic; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Costa

West Ham's Projected Lineup (4-4-2 Diamond): Adrian; Cresswell, Reid, Collins, Jenkinson; Kouyate, Song, Nolan, Downing; Sakho, Carroll
