Chelsea have been dislodged at the top of the table and will hope to thrust themselves back into the reckoning when they face Everton on the Premier League TV schedule this week.

The Blues have failed to record consecutive Premier League victories since October and know there is heavy expectation on them to end that streak against the Toffees.

Thomas Tuchel will be keen to balance fielding a strong XI with resting players ahead of the often crucial Christmas period.

Everton are enduring a miserable time in 2021/22 and the problems only appear to be deepening at the club with more injury news for Rafa Benitez to contend with.

The Spanish boss has only guided his team to one victory from their last 10 matches with seven defeats in that same spell. His reign could be cut short if form continues to flatline.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Everton

Chelsea will be licking their lips going into this one. It's a perfect opportunity for Romelu Lukaku to get back among the goals.

Richarlison has been ruled out of the game through injury while Lucas Digne will be left out of the squad following reported discontent between the left back and Benitez.

Tensions are high among the Everton squad and conceding an early goal could see heads drop and the mood turn from toxic to worse.

Our prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Everton (5/1 at bet365)
