Chelsea welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening with Thomas Tuchel's side aiming to pile more pressure on the Merseysiders.
A run of one win in 10 Premier League matches has seen Rafa Benitez's men slip down the table and a midweek trip to the European champions could cause more problems for the Goodison Park outfit.
Chelsea vs Everton latest odds
Only leaders Manchester City have been able to win at Stamford Bridge this season and the Blues boast a strong record in front of their own fans.
Chelsea are offered at 2/9 (1.22) by bet365 to claim their sixth home win this term, with the draw at 11/2 (6.50).
Everton's only away win since May 9 came back in August and the Toffees are big outsiders at 12/1 (13.00) to pick up three points in west London.
Chelsea vs Everton first goalscorer
16 members of the first-team squad have scored for Chelsea this season in the Premier League, underlining just what a goal threat the Blues pose from all over the pitch.
Mason Mount has been the most prolific player with six league strikes and the England international is offered at 15/4 (4.75) to break the deadlock.
Romelu Lukaku is the shortest priced player to score first at 12/5 (3.40) while for the visitors Salomon Rondon can be backed at 16/1 (17.00).
Chelsea vs Everton preview
Seven defeats in their last nine Premier League games is a woeful run of form and Everton's confidence will understandably be extremely low.
Chelsea should be expected to capitalise on that lack of form with Tuchel's men prolific in their own stadium where they have scored 21 goals this season.
The Toffees sit 14th in the table and the sides immediately above them and below them in the table, Crystal Palace and Southampton, have both been comfortably beaten at Stamford Bridge this term.
The hosts' firepower should once again be on display on Thursday evening and backing them to get among the goals against a side devoid of any confidence makes plenty of sense.
Chelsea vs Everton tips & predictions
Chelsea to score in both halves is offered at evens (2.00) and looks like a strong selection, one which has paid out in each of the Blues' five home league wins during the current campaign.
