Chelsea (11-3-2) has not been the same defensively with defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante out injured, but it has plenty of firepower to outscore the Toffees. It has allowed the second-fewest goals in the league (11), but has not posted a clean sheet since Kante went down. It has scored the second-most goals in the EPL (38), with 16 different players finding the back of the net. Romelu Lukaku (three goals) and Timo Werner (one) are dangerous up top when healthy, and Mason Mount (six goals, four assists) is a talented catalyst.    

The Toffees (5-3-8) also have scoring ability, though top threat Dominic Calvert-Lewin went down with an injury three games into the season. Demarai Gray (five goals) and Andros Townsend (three) can be trouble, and Richarlison (three goals) has led the attack but could miss this game with a calf issue. Everton has been hit hard by injuries, and manager Rafa Benitez is an astute tactician but is in danger of losing his job. The team has lost seven of its past nine and is 1-2-5 with a minus-8 goal differential on the road this season.
