Chelsea are looking for a third win in a row while Everton still seeking for their first win of this season. Everton have drawn both of their first two games.
Stat:
- Last time at Goodison Park, Everton beat Chelsea by a goal.
- Chelsea last win at Goodison Park was in December 2012.
Team News:
Former Chelsea strikers Romelu Lukaku and Samuel Eto'o both are doubtful for this game. Eto’o who recently completed his move to Everton is short of match fitness while Lukaku has a minor toe injury but is expected to return. Christian Atsu who is on loan from Chelsea cannot play against his parent club.
Midfielder Steven Pienaar is also a doubt due to his groin injury. Striker Arouna Kone, midfielders Ross Barkley and Bryan Oviedo are all set to miss this clash.
For Chelsea, Striker Diego Costa is back after a minor hamstring injury he suffered in training few days ago. While striker Fernando Torres has agreed to move to AC Milan which means he won't be in the squad today.
