Everton welcome Chelsea to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday evening with European football in their sights.
The Toffees are eighth in the Premier League table and targeting a return to continental competition for the first time since 2017-18.
Starting with Saturday’s visit of Chelsea, a priority for David Moyes will be to address his side’s home form. Despite boasting the fourth-best away record in the Premier League, Everton are 14th for points won at home.
Everton team news
David Moyes is lacking creative options for this weekend’s fixture, with Jack Grealish ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. Carlos Alcaraz is also expected to be unavailable with an unspecified issue, while loanee Tyrique George is ineligible to face his parent club.
Those absences will place added responsibility on Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, as he prepares to face his former team. The midfielder has impressed since swapping the capital for Everton, playing himself into potential England contention.
