Chelsea vs Everton: Blues must bounce back from frustrating result
Chelsea must bounce back from another frustrating result as they host Everton at Stamford Bridge on Monday Night Football.
The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham on Saturday, a result that leaves them ninth in the Premier League table and eight points adrift of the top four.
Frank Lampard's side have now won just one of their last five league games and will be desperate to get back to winning ways against an Everton side who are also struggling for form.
The Toffees have lost their last three games in all competitions and are 15th in the table, just four points above the relegation zone.
Carlo Ancelotti's side will be hoping to cause an upset at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea will be confident of victory if they can play to their potential.
The Blues have a strong record against Everton, having won 10 of their last 12 meetings in all competitions.
However, Everton did win the corresponding fixture last season, so Chelsea will be wary of the threat they pose.
The match is likely to be a close affair, but Chelsea will be slight favourites given their superior quality.
A win for the Blues would see them move up to eighth in the table, while a defeat for Everton would see them drop into the relegation zone.
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League from 7pm.
