Chelsea will welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge with momentum after a stoppage-time victory over Fulham but manager Enzo Maresca will serve a touchline ban.
In their last outing against Fulham, the Blues trailed for most of the match before netting a dramatic winning goal in second-half stoppage time.
Enzo Maresca celebrated wildly on the touchline and picked up his third yellow card of the season. As a result, he will serve a touchline ban for the upcoming match.
Meanwhile, Chelsea sit just two points adrift of the top five, so every remaining fixture carries huge significance.
Furthermore, the squad has seven wins and two draws from nine home matches against teams ranked tenth or lower this season. Confidence in the stands and dressing room is palpable.
That record should reassure fans, despite potential rotation ahead of the Conference League semi-final.
In contrast, Everton arrive after losing at home to Manchester City, where they struggled to contain their opponents.
However, the Toffees have experienced only two losses in their last thirteen league outings, so optimism persists in the camp.
Yet losing captain James Tarkowski to a suspected hamstring issue deals a blow to the defensive line.
Without his presence, Everton will attempt to end a remarkable 29-match winless run at Stamford Bridge. Earlier this season, they claimed an away victory at Nottingham Forest, which should inspire belief and spark hope. That challenge is one they will relish.
The duel to watch involves Pedro Neto, whose two goals before that dramatic winner both came on the road at lower-ranked clubs. Everton were one of those teams.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has kept seven clean sheets against Chelsea, more than against any other side. Notably, only four of Everton’s sixteen away fixtures this season saw more than two goals, the fewest in the league.
