After a shaky start to the 2017-18 season, Chelsea have found their feet and defeated a league title contender in Tottenham Hotspur. Considering how that was accomplished without a full strength squad, Antonio Conte was very happy with that result.
This upcoming game won’t be an easy one though, as Everton battled league title favorites Manchester City to a draw last week. Everton are looking really good coming into this fixture and they won’t be going down without a posing a serious challenge.
Regarding the key unavailable list, Eden Hazard remains out due to an ankle injury picked up on international duty. Gary Cahill is still out of action due to suspension while Cesc Fabregas is once again unavailable as well. This game won’t be an easy one for Chelsea, as they will be missing a few key players when they battle the Toffees.
