The Stamford Bridge pitch looks in sublime condition ahead of this evening.
Chelsea vs Everton: Team news
We will have the confirmed teams from Stamford Bridge very shortly, but let’s have a look at the early injury news.
The hosts continue to be without a huge number of players, including Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku and Reece James.
Ben Chilwell is doubtful and so are Raheem Sterling and Robert Sanchez due to illness.
Meanwhile, the Toffees are without Dele Alli, who is in the Sky Sports studio this evening.
Arnaut Danjuma could make the bench, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is expected to shake off a minor hamstring problem to start.
Lewis Dobbin is also out.
