Chelsea return to action on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Everton in the Premier League.

The Blues have been able to enjoy a free midweek on the back of their dramatic win over Fulham in the West London derby, overturning an early deficit to prevail by a 2-1 scoreline at Craven Cottage.

While that has kept the pressure on their rivals in the race for Champions League qualification, Manchester City's last-gasp victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday night has left Enzo Maresca's side needing to react in order to improve on their current sixth position in the Premier League table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of squaring off against an Everton outfit that have largely impressed since David Moyes's return.
