West Ham travel to Watford today knowing they are one game away from equalling their best-ever Premier League unbeaten run of eight games.

But what does manager Slaven Bilic believe to be the long-term prospects for the Hammers this season?

“We are confident,” Bilic told the Guardian., external “I don’t see a reason why we should drop dramatically. We are respecting opponents but not fearing them. It is early to say where the limits are for this team. What is definite is that we have lots of room to improve.”

Arsenal will be hoping to stay in touch with joint leaders Manchester City this afternoon - and also stay ahead of West Ham in third (who'd have thought we'd be saying that?!).

They're at Swansea today but will be without Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after both picked up injuries in the week.

Joel Campbell could be given a game, and Arsene Wenger says the Costa Rica forward is drinking in the last-chance saloon after staying at the club instead of taking up another loan spell this season.

"I wanted to keep him here, I felt he has been on loan two or three times and that it is now or never for him with us," said Wenger. "For him, as well, you belong to a club, you go one time out, two times out then after that you don't know any more if you belong to the club or not."

Cesc Fabregas can only make the bench for Chelsea today. He has had a slight knock but the brutal truth is that it is a long time since he scaled the heights of early last season, when he was inspirational following his move from Barcelona.

"It'll be contrasting styles. You can see the way Klopp's using his high-pressing style, but I think that'll suit Chelsea a bit today. They play a little bit deeper and will allow Liverpool to pressure them, the question is how they will punish Liverpool at the other end - they are vulnerable defensively."

And here's your final reminder that they are just about ready to get under way at Stamford Bridge. Follow all the action here.

We've been asking you which of the sides involved in today's early game - Chelsea v Liverpool - will finish higher in the league this season.

The results? 53% of you think Liverpool, 47% say Chelsea. 

Three points for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge this afternoon would give them a six-point advantage over the reigning champions.

Thanks for voting.

I'm sure fans of Birmingham City and Wolves don't need reminding that there's a big game going on in the Championship today.

We'll have updates of the big one - Preston v Bolton - later, but in the meantime here's a dedicated live text of Birmingham v Wolves.

I'm only pulling your leg, fans of Birmingham and Wolves!

If you're off to the game today in fancy dress, let us know.

I'm not convinced a mask counts as fancy dress, but I do like Spiderman so here's the first submission.

It's not been a great week for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Not only did his team lose to West Ham in the Premier League and Stoke in the Capital One Cup, but he was sent off at Upton Park, charged by the Football Association for misconduct and saw that former Eva Carneiro served notice of her intent to claim for constructive dismissal.

Is he feeling the pressure? Watch our analysis by body language expert professor Geoff Beattie, who's been seeing if Mourinho is masking the real story. It's a revealing insight.
