"For us, November was fantastic but we haven't started December the way we would like, he said. Nine days ago we played Leeds. We've had three games in a row where we didn't get the results that we expect. It's football. It's completely normal. We're always looking for problems. Leeds was eight-nine days ago. In nine days we're not going to change our season because we didn't get the points we expect. I'm completely relaxed. We dropped points because it's football."
"Cole Palmer is available to start on Saturday having been left out of the squad for the midweek defeat to Atalanta, while Wesley Fofana has recovered from the knock to the face he received in Bergamo and is also fit. Maresca, though, was unable to say how long Liam Delap will be out with the shoulder injury he sustained in the goalless draw with Bournemouth."
Chelsea stumbled into December with two defeats and a draw, ending the momentum from a strong November run and a 3-0 victory over Barcelona. The team has been winless in the league since 22 November and collected one point from away games at Leeds and Bournemouth, creating nervousness ahead of the Stamford Bridge meeting with Everton. Enzo Maresca will not rip up season plans after the disappointing results and cautions against overreaction. Cole Palmer is available and Wesley Fofana has recovered, while Liam Delap faces an unspecified layoff with a shoulder injury. Everton have risen close to the top after four wins in five.
