Everton vs Chelsea - Premier League Preview, Team News, Prediction & How To Watch
Chelsea FC prepares for a challenging Premier League match against an undefeated Everton side. The team is looking to build momentum following a recent win against Bournemouth, with manager Xabi Alonso managing injury concerns for key players like Reece James.
Why it matters
This match is a critical test for Chelsea's defensive stability and their ability to maintain a winning streak against a top-performing opponent.
Everton is the second game of five for Chelsea in October.
Chelsea face Everton on Saturday afternoon, looking to claim back-to-back wins in the Premier League.
Xabi Alonso's side head to Merseyside aiming to build on their emphatic 5-1 win over AFC Bournemouth last weekend , which saw the Blues claim their first league victory since August.
The trip to face Everton is arguably their hardest league fixture of the month, with Tottenham and Manchester United to follow at home.
Everton remain undefeated in the league so far this season, with two wins and four draws from their first six games. They are level on points (10) with Chelsea.
Alonso's side were heavily beaten by Everton away from home back in March, suffering a dismal 3-0 defeat, so they will be keen to ensure they put things right this time around against the Toffees.
