Everton out for redemption against Chelsea after points deduction – team news

Everton will hope for redemption against Chelsea after last week’s two-point deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules.

Chelsea, on the other hand, will aim to preserve their unbeaten streak in the Premier League clash tonight.

Despite recent ups and downs, Chelsea remain unbeaten in their last seven league matches.

However, a draw against bottom-placed Sheffield United in their last encounter showed their inconsistentency.

They game left them in ninth place, five points adrift of sixth-placed Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Everton, coming off a morale-boosting win against Burnley, face challenges of their own, compounded by recent points deductions.

The Toffees’ woes deepen as they travel to Stamford Bridge, a ground where they haven’t won in their last 28 league visits.

Ben Chilwell’s potential return offers Chelsea a boost, while Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s fitness remains a doubt.

Kick-off time for the fixture is set for 8pm at Stamford Bridge.
