Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

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

Chelsea will be aiming to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Manchester United when they continue their Premier League campaign against Everton on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues entered the clash at Old Trafford off the back of a 3-2 success over Brighton & Hove Albion but were undone by a Scott McTominay brace in Wednesday night's affair.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are currently 10th in the Premier League table, boasting just 19 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Everton, who are 18th in the division due to their recent 10-point deduction.
