It’s a big game for…

Kevin Mirallas. The former Olympiakos man grew frustrated during Roberto Martinez’s final season, enjoying his least productive season since joining the Toffees in 2012. Despite a change of manager, he has not been at his influential best, as one goal and two assists in ten league appearances demonstrates. He returns to the ground where he scored one of four league games last term.

Best stat…

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 21 home Premier League games against Everton (W11 D10).

Remember when…

stunning goals in the last ten minutes of normal time from Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba saw the Blues claim a 3-2 win over Everton at Goodison Park?

Player to watch...

Eden Hazard. Last season was a chastening one for the tricky Belgian, but any doubts about his ability to perform at the highest level have been laid to rest under the stewardship of Antonio Conte. He was once again a pivotal figure in his last outing against Southampton, firing a shot through Fraser Forster’s legs before setting up Diego Costa. If the Premier League title is to return to Stamford Bridge, it is fair to assume that the 25-year-old will play a major part.

Chelsea’s predicted team (3-4-3)

Courtois; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kanté, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Costa, Hazard

Everton’s predicted team (4-2-3-1)
