Chelsea will face Everton in their Premier League away fixture at Goodison Park. Chelsea coach, Frank Lampard will be aiming to maintain the impressive form they are in. Carlos Ancelotti’s team will be disappointed as they slipped to the ninth position of the Premier League table after their draw against Burnley.
The only positive fans of Everton can take from their 1-1 draw against Burnley in their last game is the impressive goal-scoring run Calvert-Lewis has continued. With the goal, he has made his goal number to 11 in the League.
Calvert -Lewis is the main threat of the Blues but Frank Lampard has his own weapon as well. The goal-scoring threat of Olivier Giroud can be vital to earn Chelsea three important points. The Frenchman netted a hat-trick against Sevilla in the UCL while also netted a goal in their 3-1 win over Leeds United in the Premier League.
The Blues is yet to lose a game since their second match of the season where they lost 2-0 to Liverpool. Chelsea is in the third position and they want to achieve the top spot. It will be no wonder a clash between to fine teams of the Premier League this season.

TEAM NEWS
Lampard will feel the absence of his attacking midfielder, Hakim Ziyech as he has suffered a hamstring injury and likely to recover in two weeks. Callum Hudson Odoi will miss the match as well for the same reason.
Apart from that, Chelsea will have the rest of the players. Billy Gilmour’s fine form shown in the previous game of UCL will be an added weapon at Lampard’s disposal.
Everton will have their main player in the name of Calvert-Lewis who is in tremendous goal scoring form this campaign and will want to maintain the scoring streak. But the big blow for Carlos Ancelotti is the absence of James Rodriguez whose influence is big for the team since he joined.
