Match Preview: Everton Vs Chelsea, Toffees’ Defender Missing, Blues Get Boost And More

Chelsea will have to visit Goodison Park on Sunday as The Blues will be desperate to win the match. They will be hoping to get back to the top four positions in the League Table of the Premier League, with a win over The Toffees. Manchester United and Arsenal are also in the race of the top four in this season. Arsenal are 3 points ahead of the Blues while the Red Devils are one point adrift of Chelsea at this moment. However, the Blues have one match in their hand. On the other hand, the Toffees have nothing to prove in this season. It is almost clear that they will not be relegated in this season.

On the other hand, they will not be able to make it to the top six in this season in the Premier League. So, they will play the game only for their pride. This situation can be really tricky for the sides who are fighting for the top four spot or trying to save their relegation.

Chelsea :

 

Maurizio Sarri is going to change his starting lineup after the match against Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday in the Europa League. Eden Hazard and GobzaGo Higuain will be there in the first team of the Blues against Everton. However, Gonzalo Higuain is having fever. So, he might be rested in this match if he is not fully fit yo play. Olivier Giroud scored a hat-trick against Dynamo Kiev and he assisted in another goal.
