Chelsea Lineup vs Everton CONFIRMED; Cole Palmer Back in Starting XI

Chelsea welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge for their Premier League clash on Saturday, aiming to end their winless run in the competition. Since beating Burnley 2-0 on 22 November, the Blues collected just two points from their next three and have slumped to fifth position on the Premier League table, with leaders Arsenal now eight points clear of them. To make matters worse, Atalanta inflicted Chelsea with a 2-1 defeat in the Champions League on Tuesday, further piling up the pressure on Enzo Maresca's side, who are now four games without a win in all competitions. However, much to the delight of the home fans, Cole Palmer is set to return to the side again after skipping the midweek trip to Bergamo. It's been a challenging season for him personally, with a groin problem that forced him to miss the last couple of weeks before a toe injury further exacerbated his situation. But last week, he returned with a cameo appearance off the bench against Leeds United before starting in their game against Bournemouth. Now, following a week-long rest, Palmer will be ready to get back in action for Chelsea.

Coming up against them are an in-form Everton side, who have won four of their last five games in the league. It includes a famous 1-0 win away at Old Trafford against Manchester United and a comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Nottingham Forest last weekend. The Merseyside outfit will be eager to pick up another scalp here, which would see them leapfrog Chelsea on the table, as Everton are currently just one point off them.
