Romelu Lukaku is poised to become the first Evertonian to hit 20 league goals in a season since Gary Lineker - unfortunately he may also be poised for a Goodison exit.

The richest contract the club has ever offered  has been rejected,  and a stand-off between the club's hierarchy and the player's representatives seems certain to ensue.

If Lukaku does leave - and that is by no means certain - Everton might even reconsider their stance on Oumar Niasse.

Expensively recruited by Roberto Martinez - and quickly consigned to the margins - the Senegalese forward has scored four goals in 10 games on loan at Hull.

Unfortunately for the Tigers - and probably much to Everton's relief - Niasse is ineligible to play against his parent club.

Romelu Lukaku is on 19 goals at the moment.

Will the Belgian still be at Goodison Park next season after rejecting the offer of a new £140,000-a-week contract?

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte:  "I said yesterday that there were two situations I had to check - and they were Eden [Hazard] and John [Terry]. They have little problems but I prefer to focus on this game.

"Stoke are a good team, a strong team, physical with good technique. It's my first time in Stoke. I expect an atmosphere that's exciting."

Stoke have won this fixture in two of the last three seasons, but despite frustrating Manchester City last time out, they will have to go to another level against the current league leaders.

Chelsea's consistency is there to be admired by everyone. Eighteen wins and just one defeat from the last 21 Premier League games tells its own impressive story.

Quite simply, they are title-winning statistics. However, Antonio Conte will not allow his team to take their foot off the pedal as he eyes a repeat of Carlo Ancelotti's  league and cup double."

Mark Hughes' team have only lost twice in their last nine league games and will hope that the Chelsea machine isn't quite as well oiled as it has been for the majority of this season.

Thoughts of Atletico Madrid will somehow have to be discarded as Leicester have four demanding league fixtures before they can once again indulge in a little fantasy football.

If the Foxes aren't careful, they could find themselves remembered as the first Champions League quarter-finalists (and, who knows, maybe further than that!) to be relegated in the same campaign.

It's away from home where their season has particularly imploded, winless on their travels in more than a year and with just three points accumulated on the road.

Hosts West Ham are by no means completely clear of trouble yet either, with results in their inaugural season in the London Stadium of particular concern. It all points to a fixture that's simply brimming with possibilities.

West Ham make two changes to the side who lost 3-2 to Bournemouth last time out as Sam Byram and Andre Ayew come in for Mark Noble and Sofiane Feghouli respectively.

Feghouli drops to the bench but captain Noble is ruled out with a dead leg. Winston Reid will skipper the Hammers instead.

West Ham XI:  Randolph, Byram, Fonte, Reid, Cresswell, Obiang, Kouyate, Antonio, Lanzini, Ayew, Carroll.

Subs:  Adrian, Masuaku, Collins, Nordtveit, Fernandes, Feghouli, Snodgrass.

The big team news though is Leicester captain Wes Morgan is out with a back injury he picked up in that thrilling midweek Champions League win over Sevilla.

It ends a run of 87 consecutive Premier League matches for the centre-back, who'd also played every minute of this season so far.

Morgan's replacement, Yohan Benalouane, makes his Premier League debut, while Kasper Schmeichel skippers the Foxes.

Leicester XI:  Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Benalouane, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy.

Subs:  Zieler, Chilwell, Musa, King, Amartey, Slimani, Gray.

Bad to worse for Arsene Wenger, as his Arsenal side fall to a 3-1 defeat against West Brom.

Switch to Arsenal Fan TV, I mean, switch to this page for all the reaction.

Just the one change for Stoke from the team who drew 0-0 at Manchester City in their last game 10 days ago. Marko Arnautovic has recovered from illness, and replaced Mame Birma Diouf, who drops to the bench.

Stoke XI: Grant; Bardsley, Shawcross, Martins Indi, Pieters; Allen, Cameron; Walters, Sobhi, Arnautovic; Berahino.

Substitutes: Given, Muniesa, Whelan, Afellay, Adam, Diouf, Crouch.

The big news, as we've already told you, is that Eden Hazard has not travelled with the Chelsea squad, because of what manager Antonio Conte has called "a little problem". Pedro replaces him. 

That's the only change to the team who beat Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday; Nemanja Matic retains his place alongside N'Golo Kante in midfield, with Cesc Fabregas on the bench. John Terry is not involved in the squad; he, like Hazard, appears to be suffering with a minor knock.

Chelsea XI: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Costa, Pedro.

Substitutes: Begovic, Zouma, Ake, Fabregas, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Batshuayi.

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce is forced into one change with Patrick van Aanholt - who scored the winner in the Eagles' last home game - out with an ankle injury. He is replaced by Jeffrey Schlupp .

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey, Ward, Tomkins, Sakho, Schlupp, Cabaye, Milivojevic, Zaha, Puncheon, Townsend, Christian Benteke. 

Subs: Speroni, Dann, Campbell, Lee, Sako, Delaney, Kelly. 

Watford make two changes with Daryl Janmaat and Craig Cathcart  coming in for Jose Holebas and Stefano Okaka. Nordin Amrabat features for the first time since New Year's Day as one of the substitutes.

Watford XI: Gomes, Cathcart, Kaboul, Prodl, Britos, Janmaat, Capoue, Behrami, Cleverley, Niang, Deeney.

Subs: Amrabat, Success, Doucoure, Zuniga, Holebas, Pantilimon, Okaka.

His future might be uncertain but Romelu Lukaku starts for Everton - no surprise considering his form.

The Toffees make two changes to the side that beat West Brom last week. 

Midfielder Kevin Mirallas is in Belgium for the birth of his second child while Gareth Barry drops to the bench. In come Idrissa Gueye and 20-year-old Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Everton XI: Robles, Coleman, Ashley Williams, Jagielka, Baines, Schneiderlin, Barkley, Davies, Gana, Calvert-Lewin, Lukaku.

Subs: Lennon, Barry, Valencia, Stekelenburg, Funes Mori, Holgate, Lookman.

Subs: Meyler, Maloney, Grosicki, Diomande, Marshall, Elmohamady, Tymon.

It has to be better than last time. Even David Moyes described January's Stadium of Light FA Cup meeting between these teams as 'a slog for everybody'.

This, though, has the added 'big chance' factor.

Sunderland surely have to go into the international break with the boost of a win.

Anything else against a team that's only taken two points on the road all season will have many declaring that another escape from relegation will be beyond them. Most outside onlookers already have.

Burnley are desperate to break what Sean Dyche describes as 'an anomaly' in their season - failure to win away. Here's their big chance, in a game that could prove a big deal.

Sunderland manager David Moyes makes two changes to the team that lost 2-0 to Manchester City in their previous match - 13 days ago. 

Didier N'Dong is replaced by Jack Rodwell in midfield, and out goes Lamine Kone from central defence, replaced by Jason Denayer.

Sunderland XI: Pickford, Jones, Denayer, O'Shea, Oviedo, Gibson, Rodwell, Larsson, Januzaj, Defoe, Borini. 

Subs: Mannone, Djilobodji, Khazri, Lescott, Ndong, Manquillo, Honeyman.

Burnley are unchanged from the team that lost 2-1 to Liverpool at Anfield last weekend. 

But midfielder Steven Defour returns to the bench, having recovered from a hamstring injury.

Burnley XI:  Heaton, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Boyd, Barton, Hendrick, Arfield, Barnes, Gray. 

Subs: Flanagan, Vokes, Brady, Defour, Robinson, Westwood, Tarkowski.

After 87 consecutive Premier League starts, Wes Morgan is not included in Leicester's starting line-up.

An overdue breather? Full team news to follow.

For many of today's teams, they will be into single figures for games remaining after this round of fixtures.

With nine out of the bottom 10 Premier League clubs all in action, this could prove to be a critical Saturday in the race for survival.

Six-pointer ✅

Time running out ✅

Mathematically impossible? Almost getting to that stage for Sunderland.
