The Toffees have made marked improvements since Sean Dyche took the reins, with nine points garnered from seven matches.
A 1-0 defeat of Brentford last weekend moved Everton up to 15th in the Premier League table although the drop zone still looms large. Dyche knows that there is still more progress to be made - especially away from home. The Blues have won just once on their travels this season.
They now prepare to face a Chelsea side who’ve started to click under Graham Potter after a plethora of signings last summer and in the January transfer window. Everton will be without Dominic Calvert-Lewin once again because of a hamstring issue while Andros Townsend has been sidelined for a year with an ACL issue.
Here’s the Everton team we predict to face Chelsea.

The former Norwich defender featured ahead of Mykolenko last week and it is difficult to change a winning team.

8. CM - Amadou Onana
The Belgium international hasn’t quite been the maestro he can be in recent weeks but is still a crucial member of the side. James Garner and Tom Davies are the other options if Onana is given a breather.
