Chelsea will hope not to slip further down the pecking order but to keep their top-four hopes alive when they welcome Everton at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, December 16 at 10:45 pm.
Chelsea let go of their league leadership after losing 3-2 to Westham. In their last match, Chelsea narrowly beat Leeds 3-2 but could not regain the top spot after Manchester City and Liverpool won subsequent matches.
Meanwhile, Everton ended their 3-game losing streak when they staged an ecstatic comeback against Arsenal, winning 2-1 at home but slipped into poor form in their next match, losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace.
Chelsea have 36 points since the start of the season W11 D3 L2, while Everton has 18 points W5 D3 L7.
Despite Chelsea losing in the last game, it is highly likely that they will dominate over Everton, who have only won once in their last 10 EPL matches this season.
