Chelsea visit Everton at Hill Dickinson at 18:30 Vietnam time on 17 October. Bongda24h places Xabi Alonso's team sixth, immediately below unbeaten Everton. Chelsea recently ended a three-match winless sequence by beating Bournemouth 5-1.
Chelsea bring improved attacking output
João Pedro and Jordan Henderson scored twice each against Bournemouth, with Morgan Rogers supplying the other goal. It was Rogers' fourth league goal in the report's account.
Moisés Caicedo also returned after a calf problem. Chelsea nevertheless conceded again, leaving defensive improvement alongside the positive attacking result.
Their recent record at Everton offers a difficult away backdrop. Chelsea have failed to score in their latest three visits, including last season's 3-0 defeat at Hill Dickinson.
Everton have a defensive home foundation
David Moyes' team drew 2-2 with Hull after leading 2-1. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored and assisted in that game, while Thierno Barry has scored in three of his six Premier League appearances this season.
Everton have kept clean sheets in two of three home league matches. The preview also records them unbeaten in eight of the latest nine home meetings with Chelsea, including games at their former Goodison Park ground.
Vitaliy Mykolenko remains doubtful after missing the Hull fixture. Chelsea are reported to be without Jamie Gittens, with Reece James and Emmanuel Emegha also uncertain.
Suggested unchanged selections or defensive positional switches are therefore still projections. The fixture tests Chelsea's recently productive attack against a host with favourable defensive and head-to-head records.
