Chelsea vs Everton LIVE! Premier League game stream, team latest news, lineups, tv, prediction today
Chelsea host Everton at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League today. Graham Potter’s side appear to have turned a corner lately, claiming three wins from impact as the former Brighton manager eases some of the pressure on him.
While the priority this season is now next month’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid, the Blues could use their domestic games to prepare for it. The visit of Sean Dyche’s side, which has offered a favorable game plan lately, is another. Everton may have pulled out of the relegation battle lately, but these are the teams Chelsea have to make light work of.
Three straight wins have lifted spirits at Stamford Bridge and Potter will be desperate to see his side carry that momentum into the international break. For Everton, their improvements have mostly arrived at home and they now need to prove they can deliver on the road. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Chelsea relies on Kante Boost
N’Golo Kante could make his first appearance since the second week of the season tonight.
The midfielder has been out of action since August with a hamstring injury but Blues boss Graham Potter has confirmed he could potentially rejoin the squad against Everton.
When asked if Kante could perform at Stamford Bridge, Potter said: “[He has a] Chance to get into the squad. It’s the first time so it’s fantastic, great.
“There will be managers before me who have praised N’Golo very highly for being a top-top player. We miss him very much. We missed him very much. That’s not to say the other players didn’t give their all, because they did.
“But N’Golo Kante is N’Golo Kante. He’s a top player. So it’s great for us that he’s back. We have to remember that he had a long injury.”
Every point crucial for Everton
Sean Dyche made Everton look a lot better at Goodison Park and now they have to show that on the street too.
Just four points separate 12th and 20th in the Premier League, it’s extraordinary how close things are in this relegation battle.
A win here and Everton could spend the international break in 12th place, just one place behind Chelsea!
Chelsea are set to return to the Club World Cup
FIFA has announced the qualification criteria for the revamped Club World Cup 2025 and all but confirmed Chelsea’s participation in the tournament.
The Blues will take part in the new 32-team format after winning the Champions League in 2021.
Chelsea will join Real Madrid, who won it in 2022, in the event, which will feature winners until 2024.
