Back Premier League: Chelsea vs Everton preview

Chelsea are looking to consolidate their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they face Everton at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The Blues currently hold a seven-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City after securing a 2-1 win at Aston Villa last weekend.

Chelsea are on a four-game unbeaten run, with three wins and a draw, and have the best attack in the league. Everton are tough to beat but they are struggling to get wins instead of draws. The Toffees have recorded three draws in their last four matches, including the goalless stalemate in the Merseyside derby last weekend. Roberto Martinez and his men are currently 12th in the league table and they need wins in order to move away from the relegation zone.

Last time they met Chelsea and Everton produced a spectacular game, the Blues won it 6-3 at Goodison Park in August. Cesc Fabregas should make his return after overcoming a hamstring problem while Gary Cahill should be fit as well. Filipe Luis will miss out through injury while Diego Costa is unavailable as he completes a three-game ban. Steven Naismith, Leon Osman and Leighton Baines are all in doubt for Everton, while Muhamed Besic is not entirely certain of featuring either.

Probable line-ups:

Chelsea: Courtois - Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta - Fabregas, Matic - Willian, Oscar, Hazard - Drogba

Everton: Robles - Oviedo, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman - Besic, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas - Naismith, Lukaku

My prediction: Chelsea to win 1-0.

Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:

Chelsea win - 1/3 Draw - 9/2 Everton win - 10/1
