Meeting Highlights...INJURY REPORT
Ben Chilwell is back in partial team training and could be included on the bench. Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernandez have not trained since draw at Sheffield United match and are being assessed. Raheem Sterling has missed training with an illness.
...TOO MANY INJURIES
It should be fair for us to have a fit squad, to prove that we are a good squad and that we can compete for big things. At the moment it is not fair to judge players. It's very tough when you don't have the squad fit. We want to increase the competition between them, but that's not an excuse. I don't want to talk about excuses. Now I want to be positive - it’s a good opportunity for the young guys.
...PLAYING AGAINST BOTTOM TEAMS
When we face teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, or Liverpool, the team always shows good quality. The problem for us is to be consistent. When we analyse the team, it is lack of maturity. It is only with time that we can get the right balance.
...SELF CRITICISM
In the past seven or eight games we didn't lose in the Premier League. The most important thing is to win games. The priority would be to have a clean sheet and not to concede, but at the moment it's about winning games. We need three points. If we are only thinking about having a clean sheet, we need to play with the keeper and see if we can score one goal on transition. Chelsea, in my opinion, is about going forward to create chances and score goals.

Sean Dyche
Manager on Everton...INJURY REPORT
Dominic Calvert-Lewin seems to be fine after missing training on Thursday with a hamstring issue that they are being ultra-careful with. Amadou Onana is back in training and Arnaut Danjuma should be in our thoughts for going into Monday's squad.
...POINT DEDUCTION
Similar to the last - unexpected in the sense we thought it was dealt with. The club will be looking into an appeal. What's done is done, the league table changes. We're confident that it won't change again this season.
...CHELSEA
Mauricio Pochettino is someone I've always had respect for. They've had a topsy-turvy season, lots of changes, a change of culture. They're a good outfit and have spent a lot of money as everyone knows. They have quality. We can't rely on anyone but ourselves.
...ANDRE GOMES
It's been hard for Andre Gomes with all the ups and downs with injury. He's been so unlucky. He delivered a very good physical performance [against Burnley]. We know he's got quality, he's put himself right back in the frame going forward. He's a knowledgeable player. There's a calmness about his play.
