Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Chelsea's Premier League clash with Everton this afternoon.
The Blues have endured a poor start to December, with a winless run of three games. Enzo Maresca did not seem too concerned about it when asked in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, but the Italian will be desperate to bring back some positivity to SW6 with a crucial three points against the Toffees.
David Moyes' Everton, though, have won four of their last six in the Premier League and look a really competitive team this season. Chelsea are set to welcome back Cole Palmer after the 23-year-old was left out of the squad for the defeat to Atalanta in midweek, but Moises Caicedo is unavailable as he serves the final match of his suspension.
Dario Essugo remains out with a muscular injury, while Liam Delap is set to miss the next few weeks after hurting his shoulder in the goalless draw at Bournemouth seven days ago. For Everton, meanwhile, Moyes is expected to welcome back Idrissa Gana Gueye and Tim Iroegbunam from suspension at Stamford Bridge.
However, Merlin Rohl (hernia) and Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) will not make it for this afternoon's game. Neither will Seamus Coleman.
The teams will be announced 75 minutes before kick-off at 1:45pm (UK time). You can follow that, as well as every kick from Stamford Bridge, right here on football.london.
