"Starting with the hosts, laying down a sensational Champions League marker last month as they stormed their way to a famous 3-0 romp at home against Spanish giants Barcelona, Chelsea had continued to shine on either side of November's international break. However, despite marking their return from the fortnight interval widely regarded as Arsenal's main Premier League title rival, Enzo Maresca's men have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion."
"Suffering a second-half European collapse away at Italian outfit Atalanta earlier in the week as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss on foreign soil, Chelsea are desperately seeking a much-welcomed boost here. However, getting December underway with a shock 3-1 drumming away at relegation scrappers Leeds, Maresca's camp have failed to win any of their previous four appearances across all competitions."
Chelsea produced a notable 3-0 Champions League victory over Barcelona but have slipped into inconsistent form since the international break. A 2-1 defeat away to Atalanta highlighted recent vulnerabilities, and the side have not won in their past four matches across all competitions despite a 3-1 win at Leeds. Levi Colwill remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, while Cole Palmer is set to return to the squad. Joao Pedro led the attack with a Champions League goal and 18-year-old Estevao could be recalled. Everton showed mixed recent results, including 4-1 and 3-0 home victories.
