Everton will look to bounce back when they travel to West London to take on Chelsea in Saturday’s early kickoff.
The Toffees lost 2-0 to Manchester City last weekend, while Enzo Maresca’s side prevailed 2-1 over Fulham in their most recent league fixture.
Match Preview
Everton have seen a remarkable transformation since David Moyes returned to the club in January.
There were relegation concerns when the Scot first arrived, but they now find themselves 17 points above the drop zone.
Moyes’ men put in a solid display against Manchester City last Saturday, but couldn’t hold on for a point in the end.
Nico O’Reilly broke the deadlock in the 84th minute before Mateo Kovacic added another in stoppage-time to seal victory for the visitors.
Everton will now take on Chelsea who will be coming off a 2-1 win against Fulham.
The Blues remained on the back foot for the majority of the away contest, but a late rally saw Tyrique George and Pedro Neto scoring to secure a crucial victory.
That extended the West Londoners’ unbeaten run to four games, putting them ahead of Aston Villa and two points behind the top-five.
