Chelsea could temporarily move top of the Premier League with a win against Everton this afternoon. Five successive league wins in a row have seen Enzo Maresca’s side cut the gap between themselves and Liverpool at the top of the tree. And with the Reds dropping points against Fulham last weekend, Chelsea now sit just points off the summit and play before Arne Slot’s side on Sunday.

The Spaniard scored his side’s first goal at Stamford Bridge but was shown a second yellow card after an interaction following the full-time whistle and will now serve a one-match suspension. In his absence, summer signing Renato Veiga is expected to deputise at full-back following his impressive performances in cup competitions.
Elsewhere, Maresca will hope to welcome back Romeo Lavia and Joao Felix into contention after the pair missed Chelsea’s last two games. ‘We had Joao and Romeo that probably can be available for the next one,’ Maresca confirmed following his side’s win against Brentford.
