Chelsea vs Everton: Blues look to pile more misery on relegation-threatened Toffees in huge Premier League clash TONIGHT
CHELSEA’S rollercoaster of a season continues with a Premier League affair against relegation-threatened Everton TONIGHT.
It was just under a fortnight ago when football fans were singing the Blues’ praises – especially Cole Palmer whose hat-trick helped them to secure a dramatic 4-3 win against Manchester United.
But, Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s inconsistency reared its ugly head once again as they were held to a draw by bottom-placed Sheffield United only three days later.
And Chelsea could be in for an even tougher test as the West London outfit come up against an Everton side desperate to make up for their further two-point deduction.
Furthermore, the Toffees will be confident they can be victorious following the result between these sides earlier this season.
