Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Premier League clash with Everton.

Chelsea will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

The Blues will enter this weekend's contest off the back of a 3-2 victory over Leeds United on Saturday, which has left them in third spot in the Premier League table.

Thomas Tuchel's side are seemingly involved in a three-way title race this season, sitting just one point behind second-placed Liverpool and two from leaders Manchester City.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Everton.
