Chelsea will be looking to arrest their slump in form when they square off with Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
After threatening to gatecrash the Premier League title race with a three-game winning run in November, the Blues have since banked just two points from their subsequent three top-flight fixtures.
Consequently, Enzo Maresca’s men have fallen down the table, and now find themselves eight points behind league leaders Arsenal. A midweek trip to Atalanta failed to offer any respite, with the Blues falling to a 2-1 defeat in Bergamo.

In contrast, Everton will head to the capital in high spirits, having taken top honours from four of their last five Premier League assignments, the most recent of which was a comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The Toffees’ impressive form has catapulted them up to seventh place in the standings, and another victory on Saturday would see them leapfrog their opponents.
How the bookies view it: Blues to get back on track
Despite failing to win any of their last four matches across all competitions, Chelsea come into this clash as firm 4/6 favourites on bet365.
Everton are as big as 9/2 with bet365 to emerge from Stamford Bridge victorious, while a share of the spoils is an unfancied 11/4 with the same firm.
