Everton vs Chelsea: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today
Chelsea face what looks like a daunting trip to Everton in the Premier League today.
A 3-0 win over Newcastle sent the Toffees out of the relegation zone after a superb response to their ten-point deduction, which is the only reason they remain behind Chelsea in the Premier League table.
That is also partly because the west Londoners have faltered continually in recent weeks, with every promising performance undone by a sloppy defeat.

Manchester United benefited from the latter in midweek as dreams of a return to Europe look as distant as ever under Pochettino.
Even if Chelsea can pull off a win on Merseyside, it will take some time to rebuild fans' confidence in this team.
