Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Everton

Chelsea will be aiming to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Manchester United when they continue their Premier League campaign against Everton on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues entered the clash at Old Trafford off the back of a 3-2 success over Brighton & Hove Albion but were undone by a Scott McTominay brace in Wednesday night's affair.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are currently 10th in the Premier League table, boasting just 19 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign.
