Everton
Everton remain without Lucas Digne and Seamus Coleman, meaning that Alex Iwobi and Tom Davies are having to play out of position at wing-back.
Fabian Delph was used in that position against Burnley, but the injury-plagued midfielder hobbled off and is set for another spell on the sidelines.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a brace against Chelsea in this fixture last term and is the Premier League's top scorer so far this season with 11 goals in 11 games.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Godfrey, Mina, Keane; Davies, Allan, Doucoure, Iwobi; Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison
Everton Premier League form: LLLWLD
Chelsea
As for Chelsea, Olivier Giroud appears to have nailed down a starting spot up top, though Tammy Abraham will of course be hopeful of playing a part.
Giroud has scored in each of his last six Premier League starts for Chelsea - only Mark Stein (seven between December 1993 and February 1994) has scored in more consecutive starts for the club in the competition.
Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi are injured, but there are plenty of other options out wide, including Christian Pulisic and the versatile Timo Werner.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; James, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kovacic, Kante, Mount; Pulisic, Giroud, Werner
Chelsea Premier League form: WWDWWD
Prediction: Everton 1-2 Chelsea
