Graham Potter can finally release dream midfield pairing against Everton after injury return

Chelsea manager Graham Potter will want to prove his side have turned a corner this season when they face Everton at the weekend. The Blues have struggled so far this Premier League campaign, sitting in mid-table and 11 points away from Champions League qualification with 12 games to go.

It means the side will have to make up nearly one point on the top four every game, while also overcoming six sides to break into the qualification places. It's unlikely, but not impossible while other sides continue to have inconsistent results and performances every other week.

It will rely on the west London outfit continuing their winning run that has seen them pick up three victories on the spin to ease the pressure on Potter. Adding to that is the concerns over injuries fading from the side after a chaotic few months that saw almost a full eleven on the treatment table.
