Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea squad currently sit in fourth one point ahead of Carlo Ancelotti's Toffess, though the Toffees have a game in hand. A Chelsea win would give the London side some breathing room in the chase for the Champions League spots while an Everton victory would leave the race for fourth wide open.

In the teams' previous meeting last December, Everton eked out a 1-0 home victory thanks to a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty.

Everton meanwhile have managed their recent run of good form despite some ugly numbers. While they've taken nine points from their last three matches, they've been collectively outshot across those games 35 to 27 suggesting that without some improved performances their results will likely being to deteriorate.
