Three very poor results for Chelsea showed their vulnerabilities and David Moyes had to see this as an opportunity to pick up some points.

The first goal was going to be critical as Everton have not scored in the previous four meetings, although they did pick up a point in their last match at Goodison Park. Team News Only one change for the Blues had James Tarkowski returning despite having been listed as an injury doubt before kick-off. That change meant James Garner moved back into his favoured midfield role.

Chelsea made three changes with Wesley Fofana coming in for Trevoh Chalobah who was ruled out for six weeks after injuring his ankle. Malo Gusto returned from illness to come in for Mamadou Sarr, while Romeo Lavia was preferred to Andrey Santos in midfield.
