The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Everton lock horns with Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea side in an important clash at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Everton vs Chelsea Preview
Everton are currently in 17th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive in recent weeks. The home side stunned Newcastle United with a comprehensive 3-0 victory this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Blues slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Everton have stepped up to the plate this season and will be intent on pulling off another upset this weekend. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw in this fixture.
