Chelsea will look to sustain first place in the Premier League when it takes on Everton on Saturday.
Chelsea enters the week in first place with seven points in three matches thus far; the team is coming off a 0-0 draw with Manchester United that featured a heavily defensive approach from the Blue. Chelsea is also coming off a heart-wrenching loss in the European Super Cup against Bayern Munich. Chelsea was seconds away from winning the trophy but allowed a goal in the waning seconds and lost in the penalty shootout.
John Terry credits Coach Jose Mourinho with the club's solid start.
"We are looking fit and very much together -- and Jose brings that," the club captain said, according to the Daily Mirror. "It is us against everyone else and I think that is what made us when he was here before and we are very much in the same mould again.
"His man-management is excellent and he makes people want to play for him. He has it spot on. If there was a managerial manual, he would tick every box," he added. "We are delighted to have him back. He has come home and all the players feel the same. Hopefully what we know about Jose and what Jose knows about the Premier League will make the difference in the title race."
Chelsea will take on an Everton club that is looking for its first Premier League win and its first goal in league play since its opening 2-2 draw against Norwich City. Since then, the team has incurred scoreless draws against West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City.
Prediction: Chelsea is away and will struggle to pull off a victory. However, expect a 1-0 Blues win.
Start Time: 12:30 a.m. EST
