Chelsea v Everton: match preview

Chelsea v Everton
Chelsea v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

This is a pivotal match in the race to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea climbed back into the top four with their impressive win at Liverpool on Thursday, but Everton are a point behind after three successive wins. Everton will be dangerous and Carlo Ancelotti will be keen to beat his old club after losing 4-0 at Stamford Bridge last season. Chelsea, though, remain unbeaten under Thomas Tuchel and could have an entire squad available. Jacob Steinberg
