THE LOWDOWN

CHELSEA

  • It has been a really difficult start to life as Chelsea manager for Graham Potter but their 3-1 win at Leicester City last weekend means they come into this on the back of three successive victories in all competitions.
  • N'Golo Kante has a chance of making the squad after a long-term injury and Reece James look set for inclusion given that he has trained all week.

EVERTON

  • Sean Dyche’s Everton have picked up ten points since he came in at the start of February and The Toffees look like a competent enough side to avoid relegation now. They earned a 1-0 win at home to high-flying Brentford last weekend, ending their 14 match unbeaten run.
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks almost certain to miss out once more while Ben Godfrey is posed to remain at left-back ahead of Vitalii Mykolenko after impressing against Brentford.

THE PREDICTION

Graham Potter’s Chelsea have begun to show some signs of promise in their performances as well as their results. Their come from behind 2-1 aggregate victory against Borussia Dortmund showed real signs of progress, especially in terms of their attacking combinations. They face an Everton side that have gone away to two of the so-called ‘big six’ under the management of Sean Dyche and they have been comfortably beaten by both Liverpool and Arsenal. Chelsea winning seems the likeliest outcome for this one, despite their generally below par season so far.

TIP: CHELSEA TO WIN
