Chelsea vs Everton: Team news, TV channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Slight turnaround for Chelsea

The tide has changed for Chelsea slightly in recent weeks after a run of three consecutive wins has helped to lift the gloom around Stamford Bridge.

Optimism for Everton

Graham Potter appears to be coming out the other side of his nightmare spell following wins over Leeds and Leicester in the Premier League, as well as overturning a first leg defeat to knock out Borussia Dortmund on the way to the Champions League quarter-finals. But the 10th-placed Blues still have a lot of work to do if they want to land a spot in the top four, with 11 points separating them and Tottenham, albeit with a game in hand. In similar circumstances, Sean Dyche has helped revive optimism at Everton after lifting the Toffees out of the relegation zone, but with only a point keeping them out of the drop zone, every game is crucial between now and the end of the season.

Team News

Chelsea’s upturn in form and results has been helped largely by the return to fitness of several key players. Potter is still facing a number of injury concerns, however, with Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta and Armando Broja all ruled out, with doubts over others. Raheem Sterling has a hamstring problem while Mason Mount is ruled out. Reece James and Edouard Mendy are closing in on returns after long-term issues. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and N’Golo Kante are also being assessed ahead of Everton’s visit. Meanwhile, the Toffees have just three injury concerns, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks to be ruled out. Dyche admitted on Thursday the striker “wasn’t overly in my thinking for the Chelsea game” due to a thigh problem. Nathan Patterson will undergo a late fitness test to determine whether he can be involved, while Andros Townsend remains sidelined.
