Chelsea is off to a good start with two straight wins, and many think this is the team best positioned to challenge Manchester City for the English Premier League title. The Blues face a tough test on Saturday, though, away to Everton.

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas looks to be a great signing, but he was given a lot of space in the wins over Burnley and Leicester. Everton’s disciplined midfield should do a better job of closing down the former Arsenal and Barcelona playmaker.

Chelsea’s other big signing is superstar striker Diego Costa, but his availability is in doubt after suffering a hamstring pull. If the injury is serious, he could be out several weeks, which is bad news for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea’s options up front are Fernando Torres, 36-year-old Didier Drogba who returns after a spell in Turkey, and Andre Schurrle, who is not a natural striker but can play there if needed.
