"It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Chelsea and boss Enzo Maresca will be hoping his side can see off Everton this afternoon to ease the pressure. The London club have not won since their rousing 3-0 thrashing of Barcelona on November 25, drawing with Arsenal and Bournemouth and losing to Leeds and Atalanta. There is not any immediate threat of Maresca losing his job but it seems unlikely the Chelsea owners will afford him too much time"
"They start the weekend in fifth place but will be overtaken by Everton if the Toffees triumph at Stamford Bridge. David Moyes' side have won four of their last five in the league and will head into the contest brimming with confidence following the comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Nottingham Forest last weekend. Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been instrumental in Everton's recent good form and he will be relishing the chance to face his former club."
Chelsea have gone four matches without a win since their 3-0 victory over Barcelona, drawing with Arsenal and Bournemouth and losing to Leeds and Atalanta. Manager Enzo Maresca faces pressure while Chelsea remain in fifth place. Everton can move above Chelsea with a win after four victories in five league games, including a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been instrumental in Everton's recent form and will face his former club. Chelsea will miss Liam Delap and Dario Essugo; Romeo Lavia remains sidelined with a muscle problem. Idrissa Gana Gueye returns for Everton after a three-match ban.
