The Blues look for three points away against Everton
Kick-off : 12:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Goodison Park, Liverpool
Chelsea are currently on 38 points from 18 games. They trail table toppers Man City by 14 points. They know they need to keep winning games.
Chelsea defeated Southampton last weekend 1-0 and also won in midweek in the Football League Cup. They head to Liverpool with a positive frame of mind.
On the other hand, Everton are currently on just 25 points from 18 games. They know they need to keep winning games as well. It will be another sterner test for them on Saturday.
So far Chelsea and Everton have played each other 178 times. Out of that Chelsea have won on 72 occasions while the Toffees have won on 54 occasions, 52 other games have been a draw.
All in all it should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
