Current form: Chelsea vs Everton
Since losing the Community Shield earlier this year, Chelsea have not lost a single match across all competitions. Although the Blues were not at their best in their midweek Europa League tie, they nonetheless still got a vital road win over Eastern European outfit BATE which has pretty much guaranteed them a spot in the round of 32, and now Maurizio Sarri's side turn their attention towards welcoming Everton to Stamford Bridge.
This will be Chelsea's last competitive fixture before the latest international break interrupts their campaign, and naturally, Sarri will want his team to wrap things up with all three points in hand to keep up the pressure on currrent league leaders Manchester City, who will be locking horns with cross-town rivals Manchester United.
It will be a very interesting game for Ross Barkley, who could be facing his ex-teammates for the first time since moving to Chelsea last season should Sarri decide to have him involved in any capacity for this fixture.
As for Everton, they sit in a solid ninth place, but the Toffees have struggled horribly when it comes to picking up results on the road. So far, they have only won once away from home, and more concerning is the fact that they have not won a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge in over 20 years.
Current position: Chelsea vs Everton
Thanks to their excellent start to the season, Chelsea currently sit in second spot heading into this clash, although they could fall into third should Liverpool beat Fulham in the earlier game. The Blues are still unbeaten in the Premier League, alongside Manchester City and Liverpool, while Everton are just inside the top half of the table in ninth place.

Team news: Chelsea vs Everton
For the hosts, Alvaro Morata, Marcos Alonso, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger and N'Golo Kante are all expected to return to the fold after not participating in Chelsea's match against BATE Borisov. Kante was called up late due to Cesc Fabregas's illness, but did not feature. Fabregas, meanwhile, could also miss this game due to that same illness that caused him to miss the trip to face BATE.
Visitors Everton will be concerned over the fitness of new signing Richarlison, who is a doubt due to an ankle injury. Although he did continue to play and net twice during his team's 3-1 win over Brighton last weekend, he ended up missing some training this week, and will have to naturally pass a late fitness test prior to this clash. Meanwhile, due to a clause in his loan agreement, Kurt Zouma won't be available to play against his parent club, but new acquisition Yerry Mina could be given his first start of the season.
