IS TODAY THE DAY FOR PALMER AND JACKSON?
The out-of-form Cole Palmer has failed to net in 16 matches in all competitions, including 11 in the Premier League, but does have a strong record versus Everton.
Nicolas Jackson is also hoping to catch fire, failing to score and providing just two assists in his last 12 PL appearances after plundering nine and teeing up three in his first 15 top-flight outings of the campaign.

DAVID MOYES ON CHELSEA AND TOFFEES BELIEF
"Their home record is good and actually we've not got a great record going to Stamford Bridge over the years either, so from that point of view we know we're up for a tough game.
"Against Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, I think we've done very well and this period of games has been a difficult one.
"I go in there with real confidence and belief that we can go and try to make something happen again."

ENZO MARESCA DEFENDS HIS TIME AT CHELSEA
"Compared with the last two years, it's quite clear there is an improvement. If you want to see it, you see it. If you don't want to see it, you don't see it. Depends which way (you look at it). I see it.
"We have the obligation to bring this club to where it belongs. The results have been there. Me as a manager, the club, we all have ambition. I think we are going in the right direction and hopefully we can be there very soon."
