Chelsea and Everton bring to a close an exciting 33rd Premier League matchday in which Arsenal and Liverpool have handed top spot to Manchester City after slipping up against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace respectively. The Blues welcome the Toffees to Stamford Bridge at 21:00 CEST.
Mauricio Pochettino's side will be looking to continue a run of form in which they are unbeaten in their last five games, claiming three wins. A win against Sean Dyche's side would serve to build momentum ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, with that tournament the Blues' only chance of silverware this season.
For their part, the Goodison Park outfit will be looking to claim all three points in London to move further away from the relegation zone, as they sit two points above it, despite having been deducted eight points in total this season for breaking financial rules.
Confirmed lineups for the clash
Chelsea starting XI: Petrovic (GK); Gusto, Thiago Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher(C); Palmer, Mudryk, Madueke; Jackson.
Everton starting XI: Pickford (GK); Coleman(C), Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Young, Garner, Onana, McNeil; Doucouré; Beto.
