Chelsea need to give Frank Lampard more time.

They knew he was only in his second year as a manager when he joined the club so at some point, there was going to be a period when there were challenges.

This is one of those periods, with Saturday's gritty 1-0 win over Fulham only their second Premier League victory in seven games. And on Tuesday they travel to in-form Leicester City, who are third in the table, four places and six points above the Blues.

When Lampard came in there wasn't any expectation. He had a smaller squad, he had lost Eden Hazard and there was a transfer ban. He could only work with the group of players he had.

That only got them so far. In order to compete, they needed to invest more money in better players. Lampard has done that - so now there is definitely a different expectation.

West Ham goalscorer Michail Antonio speaking to BT Sport: "We started the season well, 32 points in the league and last season we only finished on 39. We give 100% every day but didn't manage to keep a clean sheet this week but it's another win so we keep pushing on.

"As a striker you want to be out there and play and score goals so that's what I'm doing now and hopefully can keep it going on.

"It's unbelievable to be part of this squad at the moment, the chemistry is so good in the squad this season and we're not playing at our best. We're still learning to play with each other but we manage to still get wins - things are looking good but the fact is we've not reached our best yet and we can be better.

"Over yjr last few years we would've lost these types of games but this season we keep scoring and just keep winning."

Match of the Day's Jermaine Jenas praised the performance of Chelsea's Mason Mount after the midfielder scored in a 1-0 win at Fulham.

For Chelsea this is a must-win - if they don't win tonight they're out of distance and the gap is getting bigger and bigger and potentially too big to finish in that top four/two or even challenge. There's less pressure on Leicester, yes they can go top if they win tonight but no-one is saying Leicester should be winning the league this season or saying they need to win tonight. People look at Chelsea and expect them to be higher than Leicester, Leicester can go out there and enjoy the game.

Leicester name the same starting XI that beat Southampton 2-0 last-time out.

That means Wesley Fofana, who was substituted after 53 minutes in that game, retains his place in the side while Caglar Soyuncu is on the bench.

There's four changes for Chelsea as Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James and Kai Havertz all start.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are winless in five league games this season against the sides currently above them in the table, drawing two matches and losing three.

Leicester are six points ahead of Chelsea, who sit in eighth place on 29 points. West Ham have just overtaken the Blues in the table.

I'll drop in all the reaction to that result when it comes. But now, it's straight on to our next game.

Leicester City v Chelsea. That kicks off in around 20 minutes.

Six successive matches unbeaten for West Ham now.

Matheus Pereira does go long. Kyle Bartley flicks it on but the keeper gathers it in.

Another free-kick for West Brom here. It will come in deep again... Probably the last kick of the game!

Darnell Furlong sends in a long throw. Conor Gallagher gets to the ball first then throws himself on the floor claiming a penalty when Andriy Yarmolenko comes in to challenge him.

The referee blows his whistle straight away and pulls out the yellow. Good refereeing, that.

Callum Robinson wins a free-kick. It's going to be sent in long... Lukasz Fabianski just about flaps it away.

West Brom players are appealing for a penalty on Kyle Bartley. Nothing of it.

Four minutes of stoppage time for West Brom to find an equaliser.

Tomas Soucek plays it long towards Andriy Yarmolenko as West Ham have just decided to sit back.

They are not risking anything and are inviting West Brom onto them.

It almost backfires as it's fizzed in from the left by the Baggies but Darnell Furlong hits it wide on the volley. What a chance!

West Ham are surely seeing this out now. West Brom haven't offered anything for a while.

Sam Allardyce is barking instructions on the touchline.

Matheus Pereira comes out on top in midfield but West Ham are quickly back in shape.

It comes back to Conor Gallagher, who tries to pick out Darnell Furlong but Aaron Cresswell gets it away.

On comes Mark Noble. It's Michail Antonio who does go off.

Not quite actually.

Play goes on down the right but Pablo Fornals' cross is just over the head of Michail Antonio.

Michail Antonio has space to turn outside the box but he goes for an audacious curling effort and it's way wide.

That will be his last involvement too.

Hal Robson-Kanu is on for Jack Livermore. West Brom going for it?
