Catch all the latest updates as Everton hosts Chelsea in a thrilling Premier League clash at Goodison Park this afternoon
Liverpool: Chelsea is on the move today, heading to Goodison Park to take on Everton. If they win, they could leap to the top of the Premier League, at least for a bit. It’s a big deal, especially with Liverpool breathing down their necks.
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, keeps saying they’re not in the title race, but come on, they’ve won eight games in a row! That’s impressive. However, he’s got some challenges with injuries and suspensions in the defense. Marc Cucurella is out, and Reece James and Wesley Fofana are still nursing injuries.
On the flip side, Everton is just three points above the relegation zone, but they’ve been looking better lately. They held Arsenal to a draw last week and had a solid win against Wolves before that. Plus, they haven’t lost at home in their last five matches, so they’ll be tough to beat.
