Everton make the trip to Chelsea this weekend in search of their fifth win in their last six games, but it means a lot more for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
The 27-year-old Everton midfielder will be facing his former side for the very first time after leaving them over the summer window.
Dewsbury-Hall will arrive back to his former home in the form of his career having netted three goals in his last four games.

Speaking to Liverpool Echo, the 27-year-old has shared how he is going to offer Everton an advantage over the Londoners.
“It gives me a little bit of an advantage. I know more about them than these lads, some of their tendencies because I’ve trained with them every day and stuff, but every football game is unique,” he said.
“I’m sure I’m going to be on it from minute one, whoever is playing against me and I’m hoping that it can be positive.”
Moyes suggested Chelsea should’ve played Dewsbury-Hall more frequently on the back of his latest showing against Nottingham Forest at the weekend.
Saturday is going to offer the midfielder with a real opportunity to show his former side exactly what they are missing out on.
