The competition to win the Champions League next season is still quite tight, even though next season the EPL has already secured 5 places in the UCL. And of course Chelsea, who this season can only play in the European conference, have quite a big ambition to be able to challenge the Champions League again next season. However, it is very unfortunate that Chelsea is currently outside the top 5 of the standings, Chelsea still has to compete tightly to be able to get a place in the top 5 of the standings, therefore in the match against Everton they must not lose or draw. They must continue to get 3 full points in each match while waiting for one of the teams in the top 5 to slip so that they can be replaced by Chelsea.

And it is true with what you said even though Everton is currently in the middle of the standings, they are still a team that is quite difficult for bear teams to be able to get 3 full points. In the previous meeting when facing Everton, Chelsea was only able to achieve a draw, and in the second meeting Chelsea will appear as the host so that a big hope if Chelsea is able to perform better and win the match. So let's see what Cole Palmer and his friends can do when playing as the host.

I will not entirely leave the progress of Chelsea in the hands of Cole Palmer right now because the lad has yet to score in 9 if not 10 games now so it's better to advise that they work as a team and deliver to the fans the much needed results.
Everton are also fighting to move a spot higher and even though it will not affect anything on the table, they still want a progress so it's safe to say this game will be tough and like you said that their first leg was settled with a draw, I'm certain that both sides would try to see if they can best the other.
