Chelsea can, if only briefly, go top of the Premier League table with victory over Everton on Sunday.
The Blues once again took advantage of Liverpool’s points last weekend A bogey side beat Brentford 2-1 At Stamford Bridge. Another potential banana skin after that, with the Toffees having enjoyed their fair share of success against the Blues in recent years, particularly on Merseyside.
The west London club are unbeaten since October and are just two points behind the league leaders. They ended their Conference League campaign on Thursday night with a 5-1 win over Shamrock Rovers as Enzo Maresca once again put his giant team to the fore.
Everton fans have had the sweet relief of not seeing much of their side this month, and Goodison will be cheering on Sunday given the news surrounding Friedkins’ takeover.
Sean Dyche’s side beat Wolves 4-0 on home soil last time out and held Armory A goalless stalemate at the Emirates last weekend. They are up to the 16th.

Dwight McNeill has been a key cog for the Toffees since joining the club and has been impressive again this season. However, the midfielder missed last week’s draw at Arsenal through injury and it remains to be seen whether he will be fit for the visit of Chelsea – which Sean Dyche said at his press conference would indicate if he is “touch and go”.
Everton are certainly without striker Armando Broja, who is unfit to face his former club on Sunday, while James Garner is suffering from a muscle injury and could miss out again. Youssef Chermiti and Tim Irogbunum are both sidelined.
Everton predicted lineup against Chelsea (4-4-1-1): Pickford; Young, Tarkovsky, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Guye, Mangala, Nadiaye; Daukor; Calvert-Levine.
Marc Cucurella started Maresca on Thursday with the Spaniard suspended for Sunday’s game. Renato Veiga, who started at centre-back against Shamrock Rovers, is likely to fill in at left-back at Goodison Park.
Benoit Badiasile was set for a run in the team following Wesley Fofana’s recent injury, but the left-footed defender himself retained a point that should include Tosin Adarabio in Sunday’s XI alongside Levi Colville.
Reece James and Carney Chukwuemeka have been sidelined, while Mykhailo Mudric is out for closer. Failed a drug test in a week.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Everton (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Caicedo, Tosin, Colwill, Veiga; Fernandez, Lavia; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
It’s hard to imagine any side slowing down Chelsea, but Goodison Park isn’t a particularly happy hunting ground for the Blues of late.
And with the club in an anxious mood following Farhad Moshiri’s exit, Sunday looks like a tough test for Maresca’s side – even if they are well rested.
Dyche’s side are physical and compact, and they are bound to use the same blueprint from last week’s draw at the Emirates. The hosts are ready to surrender territory and aim to hit Chelsea on the break as well as from set pieces, and they could do enough to tame the Blues on Sunday.
