Team News: Eden Hazard overcomes injury to start for Chelsea

Hazard overcomes injury to start

Eden Hazard has passed a late fitness test to be included in Chelsea's starting lineup for their Boxing Day match against West Ham United this afternoon.

Jose Mourinho has made just one change to the side that beat Stoke City on Monday, bringing Oscar back in after a rest in place of John Obi Mikel after Hazard recovered from a knock picked up during that match.

Meanwhile, there are three changes for the visitors following their 2-0 victory over Leicester City last weekend.

Alex Song and Diafra Sakho drop to the bench, while James Tomkins misses out with a hamstring injury as Mark Noble, Enner Valencia and James Collins all come into the side.

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Fabregas, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa Subs: Cech, Zouma, Luis, Mikel, Ramires, Schurrle, Drogba

West Ham: Adrian, Jenkinson, Cresswell, Collins, Reid, Noble, Kouyate, Nolan, Downing, Carroll, Valencia Subs: Jaaskelainen, O'Brien, Song, Amalfitano, Jarvis, Cole, Sakho
