Chelsea have the chance to temporarily take the lead at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to Goodison Park to face Everton this Sunday.
Liverpool will play later on the same day, so if Enzo Maresca's side win against their neighbours at the top of the table, they will temporarily move one point ahead.
Latest Everton vs Chelsea squad information
Everton are without Armando Broja, who is ineligible to play against Chelsea, so Dominic Calvert-Lewin will continue to start, hoping to end his 11-game goal drought. Dwight McNeil remains a doubt after a knee injury, with Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom competing for a starting spot if he does not recover in time. Jarrad Branthwaite, after his excellent performance against Arsenal, has returned to full training and could start.
Chelsea will be without Marc Cucurella through suspension, and while Renato Veiga is the favourite to replace him, manager Enzo Maresca may have other options. Benoit Badiashile picked up an injury ahead of the Brentford game, giving Tosin Adarabioyo, who impressed and could return to the starting line-up. Wesley Fofana and Reece James remain injured, while Mykhaylo Mudryk is a long-term absentee due to a doping violation.

Latest Everton vs Chelsea football prediction
Chelsea became the first team to win five consecutive Premier League games this season with a 2-1 win over Brentford, a huge improvement on last season when the team relied on their attacking stars. With three wins in Europe, Chelsea have now won eight games in a row since returning from international break, their best run since 2016-17. Under manager Enzo Maresca, the team is just two points behind Liverpool.
Maresca also had the chance to rotate his squad as Chelsea won 5-1 at Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League, but they will need to prepare well for a trip to Goodison, where they have won just two of their last six. A win here would boost Chelsea's title ambitions.
Everton have been boosted by the news of the Friedkin Group takeover, ending eight years under Farhad Moshiri. After a 0-0 draw with Arsenal, they moved up to 15 points, three points clear of the relegation zone. However, Everton's big problem remains in attack, with few open-play goals scored and eight times failing to score this season. Everton have a low xG in attack, leaving a gap in defence, where they have kept impressive clean sheets.
