Hi and welcome to the press hub live blog of this evening’s match between Chelsea and Everton.
At 5:30 p.m. (UK time) today, the relegation-threatened Toffees will try to record only their second victory away from home this season, and the Blues hope to make it four victories in a row.
N’Golo Kante, who has been out with a hamstring injury for more than seven months, might rejoin Graham Potter’s team today as the Frenchman nears full health.
Mason Mount, who is currently dealing with a pelvic issue, and Raheem Sterling, whose hamstring injury isn’t significant but is enough to keep him out of today’s game, will both be absent for Potter.
During the upcoming two-week international break, both players won’t be available for England’s matches against Italy and Ukraine following this past weekend’s Premier League games.
Thus, Potter and Chelsea will be looking to beat Everton and pick up three points to maintain their momentum going into the two-week break.
With Sean Dyche’s style of play expected to be a major issue today, the Toffees are prepared to arrive and attempt to make things as difficult as possible for the Blues.
