Chelsea vs. Everton: Odds, Live Stream, TV Schedule and Preview

Chelsea welcome former manager Carlo Ancelotti's Everton side to Stamford Bridge on Sunday as they return to Premier League action.

The Blues earned an impressive 2-0 FA Cup victory over Liverpool on Tuesday and will be looking to make it two home league wins on the spin for the first time since November when they face off against the Reds' neighbours.

Frank Lampard has cut a frustrated figure on the sideline in recent weeks, with Chelsea struggling to maintain winning form heading into the final weeks of the season. In contrast, the Toffees have improved their resilience since Ancelotti's arrival in December, and Everton are only five points off a European place.

Preview

Despite losing nine league games this season, Chelsea are holding on to fourth with just 10 games of the season remaining.

Lampard's team were exciting and dynamic in the opening weeks, but they have fallen from grace since October.

The Blues have earned consecutive victories across all competitions just once since October 26, when they beat Burnley at the conclusion of a seven-match winning streak. Defeats have since peppered Chelsea's campaign.

Lampard will be delighted by his team's endeavour in the cup victory over Liverpool, but he could be without nine players for Everton's visit.

Nick Purewal of The Independent reported the Blues' injury list now contains Callum Hudson-Odoi after the winger suffered another hamstring injury. However, Lampard revealed on Friday that Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic are closing in on returns, as Hayters TV shared:

Ancelotti is set to be in the dugout despite being shown a red card at the end of Everton's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

According to the Press Association (via MailOnline), the Italian accepted an £8,000 fine for confronting referee Chris Kavanagh on the Goodison Park pitch and refusing to exit when the official asked him to leave the field.

The 60-year-old's experience has quickly been harnessed by the Toffees since his first game in charge against Burnley on December 26. Everton have lost only lost three times in the 11 games since his appointment, and Ancelotti has the Goodison outfit playing confidently.

Ancelotti tweeted his players are ready for their trip to his former club:

Chelsea's Ross Barkley could be in line for a rare Premier League start after scoring against Liverpool. The England international has spent plenty of time on the bench this season, but Lampard could look towards the dynamic midfielder to help ease the Blues' injury crisis.

Lampard's team have lacked inspiration in recent weeks, so he could be counting on Barkley to be motivated to show his best against his boyhood club.
