Team news
Everton left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko missed last week's draw against Hull due to a knock and it is unclear if he will return in time.
Reece James and Emmanuel Emegha are expected to miss out for Chelsea, while Jamie Gittens is sidelined with an ankle problem.
Need to know
Everton have not lost any of their last three games against Chelsea at home and they have kept a clean sheet in all of those ties.
The Toffees have avoided defeat in eight of their last 10 home games against the Blues, recording a shutout in seven of those meetings.
Prediction
Everton have a tremendous home record against Chelsea and will certainly fancy their chances of pushing Xabi Alonso's men all the way this weekend.
The Toffees have been a tough nut to crack this season, but draws against Hull, Tottenham and Manchester United suggest they are still not at their best yet.
Chelsea may have struggled on Merseyside in recent seasons, but they did not have the firepower they do now.
The Blues' win over Bournemouth last week was impressive and with Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers at their disposal, it is hard to see them not overpowering an Everton defence that just conceded two goals to Hull.
Everton have scored in each of their home games and should be able to net against a Chelsea defence that has yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League.
Chelsea's attacking charge should be led by Joao Pedro, who looks good value to score his sixth goal of the season.
Pedro has scored three goals in his last two appearances and he will be the focal point of the Chelsea attack on Saturday afternoon.
