Unbeaten Chelsea are targeting a third successive Premier League victory, while Everton are looking for a fifth win from six top-flight matches.

Team news

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is hopeful Cesc Fabregas will have recovered from the illness that kept him out of the club's UEFA Europa League match with Bate Borisov. 

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a doubt with a back problem.

Everton defender Kurt Zouma is ineligible to face his parent club, while Richarlison and Jonjoe Kenny are doubts.

But Phil Jagielka and James McCarthy have taken part in full training and are available.

Did you know?

Chelsea are unbeaten in 23 Premier League home matches against Everton (W13 D10), since a 1-0 loss in November 1994.

Everton are aiming to improve their form in PL away matches played on a Sunday. They have lost 11 of their last 13 such fixtures while drawing the other two, since winning 2-1 at Queens Park Rangers in March 2015.

If Chelsea avoid defeat Maurizio Sarri will set a new record for the longest unbeaten PL start by a manager or head coach. He will reach 12 matches, overtaking Frank Clark’s mark of 11 fixtures in 1994/95.

Marco Silva is seeking to halt his losing run in London, having suffered defeat in all of his six PL away matches in the capital. Only one manager has lost his first seven in London, with Mick McCarthy losing his first eight, before ending that run in 2009/10.

Referee: Kevin Friend
Assistants: Lee Betts, Scott Ledger
