Everton will hope to pull off another shock victory over one of the Premier League's top four as they host Chelsea on Saturday.

Everton will be hopeful that they can cause another top-four upset when they host Chelsea at Goodison Park this weekend.

The Toffees, who defeated Manchester City before stumbling to a 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic last week, are likely to be without injured Tim Cahill for the Blues' visit.

Landon Donovan could be picked by David Moyes to start on the wing for the Merseyside club. However, Nikica Jelavic is expected to wait for his Everton debut as his Scottish boss recently claimed that he wants to ease the former Rangers striker into the side.

Meanwhile, Chelsea could be boosted by the return of midfielder Frank Lampard following an injury bout, while Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge should continue their partnership.

John Terry is likely to miss out once again as he tries to overcome a knee injury, which paves the way for January signing Gary Cahill.

Current form:

Everton: LLDDWD
Chelsea: LWWDDD

Possible lineups:

Everton: Howard; Neville, Heitenga, Distin, Baines; Donovan, Fellaini, Gibson, Pienaar; Anichebe, Stracqualursi

Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Cahill, Luiz, Cole; Essien, Meireles, Lampard, Mata; Torres, Sturridge

Sports Mole says: 1-1
