Resurgent Chelsea host Everton in their Premier League opener at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
While Graham Potter won't be swayed by three straight wins, they do at least offer signs of progress. The Blues still have a lot to offer in the Champions League and could even use the home game as a kind of warm-up for the trip to Europe.
Confidence seems to be slowly but surely returning to the squad. Leeds, Leicester and now Everton could be a cheap string of games but honestly that's what it takes.
Sean Dyche's side, meanwhile, have moved away from the relegation zone but remain too close to be liked.
