The Blues take on the Toffees at Goodison Park this afternoon
Chelsea are back in Premier League action this afternoon as they take on Everton at Goodison Park.
The Blues are in a solid place in the table, currently resting inside the top four and take on a Toffees side who are struggling for form.
The Liverpool-based side have sacked Marco Silva as well and Duncan Ferguson is going to be the man in charge for the home side.
One of the difficulties for Frank Lampard is that he also has to prepare for Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday night, which means he could well rotate once again for the game.
One of those who could get a rest is Christian Pulisic, with the American having been a regular starter since the international break and having been in some decent form.
But to keep him a bit fresher for the key European match on Tuesday night, Lampard might look to use Mount in that role instead.
Lampard confirmed that Tammy Abraham should be fit to take on Everton, however Antonio Rudiger is once again not fit enough to take to the pitch.
Lampard might change things around at the back as well, with Reece James potentially put on the bench to rest for the Lille contest.
It might mean that Lampard goes for all three of N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic in the middle of the park for the game.
Emerson could come back into the left-back role, with Cesar Azpilicueta on the right.
Predicted Chelsea team (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Willian, Abraham, Mount.
