Everton welcome Chelsea to Goodison Park in the Premier League today (2pm kick-off) to round off a momentous week for the club. On Thursday The Friedkin Group completed its takeover of the Blues, who were then handed the keys to their magnificent new stadium on Friday.
But this afternoon it's back to the business of getting points back on the board. [Everton](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/everton-fc) have done that in recent weeks, winning a crucial match 4-0 at home to Wolves before producing a gutsy performance to draw 0-0 at third-placed Arsenal.
In the final fixture before Christmas, a similar display is likely needed against an in-form Chelsea side who have won their last eight games in all competitions and who will move top above current leaders Liverpool with victory.
However, the Stamford Bridge outfit have lost five of their last six visits to Goodison and they will no doubt be encountering a team and fanbase fired up by the events of the past few days.
Joe Thomas, Chris Beesley and Paul Wheelock will be at the ground to bring you all the pre-match build-up, including team news when it drops at 12.45pm, live in-game updates, and then all the best post-match reaction and analysis.
