David Unsworth looked very relaxed when he made his way onto the Stamford Bridge pitch tonight. So relaxed he had time to make two phone calls.
The caretaker Everton boss has come to the rescue before. When the club sacked Roberto Martinez in May of 2016 he managed Everton to a 3 - 0 win over Norwich.
Benni Baningme is the new name on the team sheet. A defensive midfielder, who was a regular in Unsworth’s PL2 title winning side.
As for Chelsea, Conte says in his programme notes that they “had to fight, like Champions to get three points” on Saturday against Watford.
With three games in eight days its no surprise Conte has made nine changes.

David Unsworth was also asked this week about midfielder Ross Barkley, who has been sidelined with hamstring injury since mid-August and is out of contract at the end of the season.
Barkley was linked with Chelsea over the summer and says he will "assess all my options in January when fully fit".
And Unsworth is hoping he can persuade the 23-year-old England international to stay.
"I would love him to stay," said Unsworth "He is a top talent. Everton has done great for him, and he has done great for Everton. He could be one of the all-time greats here.
"I would love him to be persuaded by myself and the chairman to stay and sign a contract."

BBC Radio 5 liveMedia caption, Hartson believes Dyche should be allowed to leave Burnley “whenever he wants”.
Former Wales striker John Hartson says Sean Dyche might not get another opportunity to manage a club as big as Everton.
Dyche has been linked with the vacant position at Goodison Park after Ronald Koeman was sacked on Monday.
Hartson believes Dyche’s success at Burnley means the 46-year-old should be allowed to leave the club “whenever he wants”.

"I don't think it's a moment to relax," said Blues goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
"Everton have been struggling. I don't think they are playing badly but they have conceded some sloppy goals, and other teams have had more luck, but the Premier League is hard.
"This is another competition, though, and they will be ready to win it."

It’s also the start of a defining week for Slaven Bilic - two defeats against Spurs and Palace could signal the end for a very likeable manager.

Don't blame it on the Mitre!published at 18:53 British Summer Time 25 October 2017
Image source, ReutersThe EFL has defended the ball used in the Carabao Cup after criticism from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola said it was "impossible" to score after his side's fourth-round win over Championship leaders Wolves on penalties on Tuesday.
The ball used in the tournament is manufactured by Mitre.
"The entertainment provided across last night's ties would suggest that the ball is not having a negative impact," read an EFL statement.
Where did it go wrong for Koeman?published at 18:49 British Summer Time 25 October 2017
Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writerRonald Koeman struggled all season to find his best team and his best formation. When he replaced Ashley Williams with Tom Davies at half-time in the Arsenal debacle last weekend, it was the ninth time in 17 games this season he had made a change at that stage.
It is an indication of either picking the wrong team or the wrong formation, neither of which is good news.
Everton, as a result, have looked a team without direction or a clear identity under a manager who was so assured last season but has lost his way in this campaign.
