The blues host Ronald Koeman's men in our first fixture of the new month with no other European team enjoying a better October than Chelsea.

The blues were the only team in Europe's top five leagues not to concede a goal in the past month.This feat was achieved courtesy of a tactical tweak from Conte switching from a 4-1-4-1 to a 3-4-3 system after the blues had suffered back to back losses against Liverpool and Arsenal.
Eden Hazard won't forget October in a hurry as he achieved a new personal feat,scoring in three consecutive league games while also registering the assist for Diego's stunner last weekend.His performances ensured he pipped Walcott and Co to the PFA fans player of the month award.

This fixture last campaign produced a whopping six goals with both teams scoring three each.John Terry's very late equalizer was the most late goal in a league game last season.The toffees had managed a home success over the blues in the reverse fixture before a ten-man Chelsea also lost to Everton in the FA Cup fifth round last season.

A lot of things have changed at Stamford Bridge since then with a rejuvenated Conte led Chelsea banishing all the memories of a horrendous 2015/16.Hull,Leicester, United and recently Southampton has recently suffered defeat to the blues who has scored 11 times in the process.

Everton won only a single league game during that span,last weekend's victory over West Ham.The toffees drew with Palace and City before loosing at Turf Moor.

The side has conceded only eight times this season but will come up against one of the divisions free scoring sides boasting a front three of Hazard, Pedro and Costa.
