Palmer and Fofana Cleared as Chelsea Host In-Form Everton, With Delap Sidelined

Maresca stresses consistency after a four-game winless stretch.

Overview

  • Chelsea start the weekend fifth, two points above seventh-placed Everton, who can overtake them with a victory.
  • Kick-off is 3pm GMT on Saturday at Stamford Bridge, with no live UK TV coverage due to the 3pm blackout.
  • Enzo Maresca said Cole Palmer is available after finishing training with a “mixed feeling,” and confirmed Wesley Fofana is fit following an eye knock.
  • Liam Delap has a shoulder injury with an uncertain recovery timeline of roughly two to four weeks, according to Maresca.
  • Moises Caicedo serves the final match of his domestic suspension as Everton chase a fifth win in six despite no league victory at Stamford Bridge since 1994.
