Everton are the visitors to Stamford Bridge this Sunday lunch-time for a Premier League fixture.
Chelsea supporters will be hoping that, after beating Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley last weekend, their side can keep the momentum going.
Everton having sold Romelu Lukaku this summer, have invested the fee received wisely and will be a stiff test for Antonio Conte and his side.
Ahead of the fixture, we`ve cobbled together some early team-news:
Starting with Chelsea:
Antonio Conte will be without the services of his club captain, Gary Cahill, who sits out this game as the second fixture of a three-game ban imposed for his red-card in the game with Burnley, the opening fixture of the season.
However, Conte does have Cesc Fabregas available after the Spaniard served his one-game suspension for the red-card he received in the same game.
At his pre-match press conference, Conte confirmed that all his squad are injury free but that Eden Hazard will not be risked in this game as he continues to recover his match-fitness following his ankle fracture.
Continuing with Everton:
Ronald Koeman will be hoping that both Sandro Ramirez and Idrissa Gueye are available for selection after the duo take fitness tests.
However, Everton will be without the injured quintet of James McCarthy, Seamus Coleman, Ramiro Funes Mori, Ross Barkley and Yannick Bolasie.
Also missing will be Morgan Schneiderlin who is suspended.
