"Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Enzo Fernandez were all substituted during the defeat to Atalanta, but are not thought to be dealing with serious issues. Chelsea will hope to have Cole Palmer available after he was left out of that loss, with his minutes being managed after an injury-disrupted start to his campaign. Liam Delap will again miss out with a shoulder injury, while the game is likely to come to soon for Dario Essugo (thigh)."
"It's unclear when Romeo Lavia will be able to return from a muscle problem that has kept him out since the November 5 clash with Qarabag. Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) is still on the sidelines for Everton, who will again be minus Merlin Rohl as he continues to recover from surgery on a hernia. Chelsea v Everton predicted line-ups Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella, James, Fernandez, Neto, Pedro, Garnacho; Palmer. Everton: Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Gueye, Ndiaye, Grealish, Alcaraz, Beto."
"Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 30 Premier League home games against Everton (W17 D13). It's their longest unbeaten home run against an opponent in their league history. Only at Leeds United have Everton had a longer run without a win (36 from 1953 to 2001). Everton have failed to score in 27 different Premier League games against Chelsea, including each of the last three in a row. They have only drawn a blank more often against Manchester United and Liverpool (28 each)."
Several Chelsea players were substituted against Atalanta and are not believed to have serious issues. Cole Palmer was omitted but may be available as his minutes are managed following earlier injuries. Liam Delap remains sidelined with a shoulder injury and Dario Essugo is not yet ready due to a thigh problem. Romeo Lavia has been out since November 5 with a muscle issue and has no clear return date. Everton continue to miss Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) and Merlin Rohl (post-hernia surgery). The match kicks off at 3pm UK time and will not be broadcast live in the UK.
