Chelsea have won 11 of their last 15 home matches against Everton, with the Toffees' most-recent league victory at Stamford Bridge coming in November 1994 with Paul Rideout the only scorer.
Chelsea vs Everton preview
A fortnight ago, Chelsea were being anointed bona fide title contenders, but a sequence of rough results leaves them under pressure to win this one. On Tuesday night, despite taking the lead through João Pedro in Bergamo, the Blues were beaten 2-1 by Atalanta in the Champions League at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia. This means they've yielded just one point from three away matches in the league phase thus far, thereby slipping down to 13th, with games against Pafos and Napoli remaining.
Meantime, in the Premier League, Enzo Maresca's side come into this one without a win in three. Last Saturday's goalless draw with Bournemouth was, at best, uneventful, following on from a chaotic 3-1 defeat against Leeds at Elland Road. As a result, Chelsea have sunk down to fifth, with games against Newcastle and then Aston Villa up next in the league. Thus, the Blues really need to win this one.
Everton though arrive in West London just one point below their hosts following an impressive sequence of results. Last weekend, the Toffees demolished Nottingham Forest 3-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Thierno Barry finally bagging his first goal for the club, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was on target later on.
As a result, David Moyes men have now won four of their last five, also beating Fulham, Manchester United and Bournemouth, their sole defeat since October that 4-1 demolition at the hands of Newcastle. This sees the Blues kick off in seventh place, leaving Evertonians therefore dreaming of seeing their side qualify for Europe for the first time since 2017. So now, can Everton claim a first victory at Stamford Bridge for 31 years?

Chelsea team news
This is the final match of Moisés Caicedo's domestic suspension, albeit he did start in Bergamo, while Levi Colwill, Roméo Lavia, Dário Essugo and Liam Delap remain sidelined.
Centre-back could be a concern for Enzo Maresca. Trevoh Chalobah was taken off at half time against Atalanta, before his replacement Tosin Adarabioyo was forced off half an hour later, meaning Wesley Fofana concluded the night, so who knows what pairing will be deployed this time.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Everton: (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; James, Fernández, Estêvão, Palmer, Neto; João Pedro.
Chelsea player to watch vs Everton
Cole Palmer did not travel to Northern Italy this week, as his minutes are carefully managed, but he did score four when Everton visited Stamford Bridge two seasons ago, so will he be the star of the show again?
Everton team news
Idrissa Gana Gueye is back, having served a three-match suspension, although not for long, given that he's heading to the Africa Cup of Nations after this game.
Tim Iroegbunam can also return, after enduring a one-match ban against Nottingham Forest, but Gana Gueye's return will confine him to the bench.
Another Senegalese star Iliman Ndiaye is also AFCON bound on Monday, he will leave a seismic void, while James Garner would sit out next Saturday night's visit from Arsenal if cautioned.
Everton predicted lineup vs Chelsea: (4-5-1): Pickford; O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Gana Gueye, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Grealish; Barry.
Everton player to watch vs Chelsea
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall spent last season at Chelsea, but started just two Premier League matches for the clubs, totalling 258 minutes. Now though, he is in excellent form for Everton, scoring three goals in his last four appearances, so can he return to haunt his former employers?
Chelsea vs Everton prediction
Despite the fact that Everton are in the better form, we cannot see beyond a Chelsea victory, likely to prove too strong when two Blues go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge: Chelsea 2-0 Everton.
